Two very young girls; one a Catholic from Poland; the other a Jew from Germany; are caught in a web of terror during World War II. These are their unforgettable true stories. "War does not spare the innocent. Two young girls; one a Catholic from Poland; the other a Jew from Germany; were witnesses to the horror of the Nazi occupation and Hitler's terror in Germany. As children they saw their homes and communities destroyed and loved ones killed. They survived deportation; labor camps; concentration camps; starvation; disease and isolation. "This is a moving personal account of history. Urbanowicz and Auerbacher's painful pasts and similar experiences should guide us to make correct decisions for the future." Aldona Wos; M.D. Ambassador of the United States of America; Retired; to the Republic of Estonia Daughter of Paul Wos; Flossenburg Concentration Camp; Prisoner Number 23504 "Most Holocaust survivors are no longer with us; and that is why this volume is so important. It is a moving testimony by two courageous women; one Catholic and one Jewish; about their youthful ordeals at the hands of the Nazis. They succeed in ways even the most astute historian cannot - they literally capture history and bring it to life. It is sure to touch all those who read it." William A. Donohue President; Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights "Such an original book; written jointly by both a Jewish survivor and a Polish-Christian survivor of the Holocaust; Children of Terror points the way toward fresh insight; hope and redemption. If "Never again" is to be more than a slogan; tomorrow's adults must be nourished and informed by books such as this. A fabulous piece of work; perfect for the young people who are our future." Rabbi Dr. Hirsch Joseph Simckes; St. John's University; Department of Theology "The authors were born in the same year but into different worlds: one a Polish Catholic and the other a German Jew. Despite their dramatically different traditions and circumstances; they shared a common trauma - the confusion and fear of being a child in wartime. Auerbacher and Urbanowicz vividly describe the saving power of family; place; and tradition. Young readers of Children of Terror will come away with a deeper understanding of the Second World War and a profound admiration for the book's authors." David G. Marwell; Ph.D.; Director of the Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust
