My Aunt Lucie

Discover the true story of a young Jewish woman living in the Netherlands during the Second World War.

This moving account documents how Lucie's idyllic life in the Netherlands in the 1930s was impacted by the Nazi invasion as war broke out. Lucie's strength and determination to survive, along with her unwavering faith that peace will one day return, shows young readers that hope can always be found among the ashes.

Lucie's niece, Stephanie van den Burgh, is the author of this incredible true story, herself having been born in 1944 and spending her early years living in hiding from the Nazis. This beautifully illustrated book also provides middle-grade readers with historical context to the war crimes of the Nazis in an accessible, sensitive way.
