MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
Escape from Amsterdam by Lauralee Bliss is part of the Unsung Heroines of WWII series. Set in the Netherlands in 1939, some of the storyline is quite difficult to read, though it’s a big part of the story. Taking the children from their homes to a hiding place was necessary to try and save them, but it was difficult on the parents. As a parent, I can’t imagine.
Helen was a teacher, but she had the job of helping hid the children and Erik Aldo helped in this endeavor. Rhere was so much frea, as you can imagine, among the families. My hearing was hurting for these children and their parents. This is truly unsung heroes that most people never hear about. I think the characters were well developed and the authors does a really great job of writing this book. The detailed events and scenes are so realistic and well thought out. If you enjoy WWII stories, this is one you definitely want to read. I’m giving this one Five out of Five Stars.
