Trapped in Hitler's Hell: A Young Jewish Girl Discovers the Messiah's Faithfulness in the Midst of the Holocaust

Anita Dittman grew up in Germany as the daughter of a Jewish mother, at a time when Nazi ideas were spreading across the country. Around age eight, she became convinced that the Messiah was Jesus, a belief that shaped the rest of her life. Only a few years later the war began, and her childhood gave way to a long struggle to stay alive. Her memories of the Holocaust are set against the ways she saw God's protection in the middle of constant danger. The account is offered as encouragement to hold on to faith in a world marked by evil, and as a reminder of why this history must be remembered.
