Oma decides her granddaughter is old enough to hear the whole story of the family's life in Germany during the Holocaust. In this autobiographical picture book, Russo's illustrations of family albums include photos, maps, identity cards, and a yellow star. An afterword provides historical background in honest but gentle language, and accents the miracle, or the luck, of this family's survival.
