Just a girl : a true story of World War II

Levi, Lia 1931- (author.). Mason, Jess, (illustrator.). Notini, S. (Sylvia), (translator.).

Summary: "The year is 1938, and war is coming to Italy. How silly, thinks six-year-old Lia, that Ital'ys leader, Mussolini, doesn't want Jewish children to go to Italian schools anymore - or for Jewish papas to work. Mussolini won't even let Jews go on vacation. When Papa loses his job, Lia's family must give up thier home and move from city to city. As war comes closer, so does danger, until one day Lia and her sisters are sent to hide at a Catholic boarding school. Separated from her parents and from everything she knows and loves, Lia must find a way to survive and finds patches of light and kindness in the most surprising places. Based on Lia Levi's own story, Just a Girl is a captivating tribute to all the children who have not only endured war - but have found the voice to share their stories" -- dust jacket.
