Book Review: On the Run from Nazis
Summary: 3 Stars
Anna, a nonpracticing Jew living in Germany, is really too young to know what is going on when the Nazi party starts to gain power. All that she knows is that in the year when she is nine years old, things are going badly. Her father, a famous and well-respected writer, is nervous about the upcoming elections. In fact, he is so nervous that he secretly travels to Switzerland to wait them out and then, as the time of the elections draws near, he has Anna, her older brother Max, and their mother join him. They soon find out it was lucky they did--shortly after the election the Nazis came looking for them.
What follows is a young girl's account of being a refugee. Anna's father, who spoke out against Hitler in his writing, finds it hard to get anyone to pay him for his writing, even in neutral Switzerland. From Switzerland the family moves to France, where Anna's father has a bit more success but Anna and her brother have to learn a new language. They feel like they don't really belong anywhere. The family finally decides to make their way to England, where Anna's mother thinks things will be brighter.
I liked the strength of Anna's parents, who made sure their kids always felt safe, even when they must have been terrified. I both liked and disliked that everyone in this story was so positive. It was nice that Anna's family didn't let anything get them down, but it was hard to believe that any family could be that resilient and cheerful. The book made it seem like being on the run from the Nazis was a fine adventure. Since the story focused on people living abroad and getting by fine, it made the Holocaust seem like not such a big deal.
