When a Toy Dog Became a Wolf and the Moon Broke… af Hendrika de Vries
Hendrika de Vries was a child in Holland when her father was deported to a Nazi POW camp and her mother joined the Resistance. Her new memoir tells the story of the tragic events of Amsterdam during WWII, as seen through the eyes of a young girl, and reflects on the wisdom she gained from her experience. It is a beautiful and extraordinary story, finely told.
