Review:
Alicia Jurman was born in Buczacz, Poland, in 1930, the daughter of orthodox Jewish parents. Alicia's family had a long history in Poland; her father ran a successful mercantile business which supported the family comfortably, and the Jewish population was large and close enough to create culture, community, and a sense of security for Alicia and her three brothers. Racist anti-semitism was a fact of life the family almost learned to ignore until 1938, when the Germans invaded Poland and occupied Buczacz and one brother was killed. In 1939 the Russians drove the Germans out; another brother died. In 1941 the Germans returned; within a year, Alicia was the last living member of her family. In compelling detail, Alicia describes hiding in fields, finding food, narrowly escaping from prison and firing squads, helping others escape, searching for survivors of her family. Written in straightforward, non-political, and graceful narrative, this is the story eleven-year-old Alicia swore she would someday tell: "Through the story of 'Alicia' I wish to reach out, not only to survivors like myself, but to all people. ... I believe that the book will teach young people what enormous reserves of strength they possess within themselves." -- For great reviews of books for girls, check out Let's Hear It for the Girls: 375 Great Books for Readers 2-14. -- From 500 Great Books by Women; review by Jesse Larsen
