The Forgotten Children: Unforgettable and heartbreaking WW2 historical fiction Bennett Ann
Paris, 1941. Suddenly a group of guards appears in the street. As we drive down the cobbled street, I take in the red banners with swastikas covering every building.
But I'm not wearing my yellow star now, I left it with my sister. I duck beneath the window of the car, and my heart thumps as my hand jumps to my chest. Tears well in my eyes.
Will I ever see her again? 1939. Standing in front of the orphanage's imposing stone walls, eleven-year-old Jewish twins Helga and Ruth shiver with fear. The war has taken their mother and father, their home in Berlin has been turned to rubble, but their soft, dark eyes meet and Helga gives Ruth a reassuring smile.
They should be safe here together.Yet every day bombs fly overhead. And when Ruth becomes desperately unwell, the girls are torn apart.
