This is the biography of Ruth Gerda Reimer who was born in 1937 in West Prussia (Germany). At the age of 8, during World War II, she had to leave her homeland with her family to seek refuge in Denmark but eventually returned to Germany. Written for children ages 8 to 12 years, it is the author's hope that the readers gain respect for the courage and sustained faith that these survivors needed to endure the hardships they faced during this critical time in history.
