About the Book

Readers comments: " this story is a national treasure; it depicts America's great history." Ursula's story is also a letter of heartfelt gratitude the strangers who ensured her survival and saved her family from dying in a concentration camp. When her mother covered her children with her body during a bomb attack and pleased with God to save her children, Ursula's search to touch the face of God began. Under Hitler's rule, enforced by his henchmen, the Gestapo, only pure Aryan couples where permitted marriage certificates. To live with or to be married to a non-Arian was "illegal." The German government denied a marriage certificate to Olivia's parents and refused child support which was allotted to families with children. Her family was shunned as outcasts, and her parents received numerous warnings by the Gestapo to dissolve their "illegal" relationship since her mother was of Jewish decent. The tenacity of Olivia's mother is a touching account of her love for her children and her will to survive. This story is about the plight and suffering of innocent people, including children who were caught in the middle when nations are in conflict and at war.

People panicked and turmoil ensued since food and daily amenities were no longer available. Children died in their mothers' arms and hope for survival was dim.
