My Mother Never Taught Me Songs

About the Book

In 1939 the author and her parents fled Germany just ahead of the Holocaust with only the clothes on their backs and what they could carry. Unable to speak English and burdened with the need to survive in a world foreign to them, eight year old Lilian's parents sometimes did not realize children can have problems of their own.
