Alicia: My Story by Alicia Appleman
4.0
dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

 This is the personal account of the author, who was only thirteen years old when she lost her family and began saving other Jewish people from being deported. She helped other Jews to get to safe houses, and get out of the spotlight to live freely elsewhere. After the war, she even helped get people through all the hassles and red tape into Palestine. This was a very dramatic book, and I really enjoyed reading about her courage and determination in the face of death.
