- This book tells the story of Dutch citizens helped two young Austrian sisters avoid deportation to the death camps where they almost certainly would have perished. The sisters, Eva and Ruth, were sent by their parents to the Netherlands in order to escape the increasing persecution of Jews in their homeland. They would endure years of separation from their parents and each other, before the family was eventually reunited. Through the efforts of these Dutch families, Eva and Ruth were able to escape Nazi persecution and survive the war.
