My Story

This is the story of a young girl of Jewish faith, living in Paris with her family when WW2 breaks out. Hearing of the approaching Germans, they pack in a hurry and take the next train out, leaving everything behind forever. They wander in the countryside for the next 9 Months, then they must leave France and go to whoever will want them, which at that time was the Dominican Republic. She was only 10 years old when her story began; but at 15, still living peacefully in the Dominican Republic, she felt a need to put it all down on paper. This is her account of her unforgettable experiences that changed her life.

About the Author
I was born in Paris, France, and lived there until I was eleven years-old. Even at that young age, I loved to tell stories to my sister which I made up as I went along, to be continued the next day, and so on. My secret dream was to be a writer. Then, World War II broke out. It was June 1940 and everything changed. Now I had real stories to tell. How we left Paris, unknowingly, one day before the occupation. How we kept moving from town to town, always a step ahead of the Germans. Then the realization that we had to leave France, and it didn't matter where we went. I was 15 years-old when I began writing in detail what happened to me and my family and how we were able to get out of France in turbulent times. This is my story-I hope you enjoy reading it.
