In Face of Danger

This is a book that takes place just before and at the start of World War II in Europe. Ann Lindsay and her father have been on a trip, and they end up in an accident, forcing a stay in the hospital for her father. Ann is taken in by an older woman who has a secret.

Ann eventually finds out that the woman is hiding two Jewish girls in her house. A lot of the book shows how the attitude of Germans at the time was changing, and we see various acts of anti-Jewish prejudice, along with outright violence. Other complications arise, and, before long, Ann realizes that she is in great danger by trying to help the two girls, yet she believes it is the right thing to do.

It's a really well-told story, and helps one to appreciate the sheer insanity of the times and the incredible hatred that Hitler had stirred up against the Jewish people, and how they were treated. These are lessons that must never, ever, be forgotten.
