My Own Little Corner

Annemarie Brown tells her gripping story as a child living in Nazi occupied Amsterdam. Brown shares her visceral reminder of the horrors of Nazi occupation as another stepping-stone in her lifelong journey to self reliance and triumphant survival. Brown recalls experiences like of her mother sitting her down daily to rehearse responses the little girl must give to Nazi interrogators who regularly would burst into their home unannounced. Browns family subversively defied Nazi dictums and helped their neighbors survive the occupation. Browns mother would cook food, stuffing towels under windows and doors so the smell wouldn't escape to the street, and Nazi attention, to feed those less fortunate than they. Brown learned to keep her mouth shut, her eyes open and, most of all, to take on the burdens children should never have to face. Brown recalls the incredible of having both parents shipped away when she was only five years old. For nine months Brown stayed in the family home with her younger sister, Elsje. When soldiers passed, the girls hid in the basement. Order today and read one of the most amazing stories of survival and power of hope in the darkest times.
