With the present day rise of anti-semitism in Europe it is important seventy years after the Holocaust to make Europeans aware that Jews were not the only victims of Hitler. Slavic people, such as the Slovenes, political opponents of the Nazis, the handicapped, the Church, Gypsies, homosexuals and many other groups were singled out for persecution. Milena's dramatic story reveals the struggle of her family of eleven, each in his own way, to fight first the Italians, and then the Germans, some in the resistance, others by surviving the death camps. A timely story. - Ina R. Friedman, author of The Other Victims: First Person Stories of Non-Jews Persecuted by the Nazis (Houghton Mifflin) One cannot truly begin to imagine the horrors of the time . . . but walk in the shoes of a girl named Milena and you will get a clearer idea of what she, her brave family and her oppressed people were forced to endure. Hollenbaugh's lovingly-told story adds pertinence and meaning to the historical events of a very dark time in history. A well-researched and thought-provoking work, this story serves the important service of filling the gaps in our understanding of the time; it is a significant gift to this and future generations. - Mary Beth Egeling Author of Tell Me What You CAN Do
