"Immer in Angst: Als Sechsjährige flüchtet Edith mit ihrer jüdischen Familie 1938 von Wien nach Belgien. Zwei Jahre später sind sie auch dort nicht mehr sicher und gehen nach Südfrankreich. Dort wird ihr Vater verhaftet und kommt in ein Konzentrationslager. Damit sie gerettet werden, bringt Ediths Mutter sie und den kleinen Gaston in ein Haus nach Moissac, wo hunderte jüdischer Kinder, mit Billigung der gesamten Bevölkerung, versteckt werden. Droht Gefahr werden die Kinder in den Wald gebracht und zelten, bis die Nazis abgezogen sind. Eines Tages sind sie hier nicht mehr sicher: Edith nimmt eine neue Identität an und wird in einer katholischen Schule versteckt. Sie hat grosses Glück: Nach dem Krieg findet sie Mutter und Geschwister wieder. Der Vater jedoch überlebt das KZ nicht. Was es bedeutet, als Kind jahrelang in Angst zu leben, sich verstecken zu müssen und zuletzt sogar die eigene Identität aufzugeben, können wir uns kaum vorstellen. Es gelingt der Autorin, uns das eindrücklich miterleben zu lassen: Ediths Schicksal berührt. Eine Bereicherung sind viele schwarzweiss Fotos jener Zeit. Ab 12 Jahren, ****, Irene Beglinger-Flückiger."
"Edith's story is remarkable not only for her own bravery, but for the bravery of those that helped her: an entire village, including its mayor and citizenry, heroically conspired to conceal the presence of hundreds of Jewish children who lived in the safe house. The children went to the local school, roamed the streets and ate good food, all without having to worry about concealing their Jewish identity. And during Nazi raids, the children camped out until the coast was clear. Hiding Edith details not only the amazing courage and struggles of one young girl, but the inspiring spirit of the people she met. Shatta and Bouli Simon, the couple who ran the house, taught the children everything they needed to survive, including how to change their identities in new hiding places once conditions in Moissac became too risky. Sarah Kupfer, another Jewish child in hiding, became Edith's closest friend, sharing both birthdays and bomb attacks, losses and love. And Muti, Edith's mother, sacrificed everything she could for her children-- even the comfort of having them close at hand. [Résumé de l'éditeur]."
"In 1938, Edith and her family joined the many Jewish people forced to leave their homes to escape the Nazis. In a desperate bid for survival, Edith was entrusted to the care of a children's home in Moissac, France, where other Jewish children were hiding. All the people of the town promised to keep the children's identity a secret. Could they possibly succeed? Would Edith ever see her family again? A dramatic and moving account of one girl's experience during World War II. This is the true story of Edith Schwalb."
