Luba: The Angel of Bergen-Belsen (Jane Addams Honor Book (Awards)) Book

Why am I still alive? Why was I spared? One night in 1944, Luba Tryszynskas questions were answered when she found fifty-four children abandoned behind the concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen. Luba knew if the Nazis caught her she could be executed. But they were someones children. And they were hungry. Despite the mortal dangers, Luba and the women of her barracks cared for these orphans through a winter of disease, starvation, and war. Luba: The Angel of Bergen-Belsen is the true story of a hero and the children who gave her a reason to live. My name is Luba Tryszynska-Frederick and this is my story. I never thought of myself as a particularly brave person, certainly not a hero. But I found that inside every human being there is a hero waiting to emerge. I never could have done what I did without the help of many heroes. This story is for them, and for the children. --Luba Tryszynska-Frederick Author: Michelle Roehm McCann as told by Luba Tryszynka-Frederick Format: 48 pages, hardcover Ages: 9-12 Publisher: Tricycle Press ISBN: 9781582460987Read More
