Strength to Endure

Anneliese Klein was a small girl when Hitler came to power in Germany. Her two brothers desert the family and join the army. Anneliese marries Kurt who is involved in hiding Jews. They hide a Jewish man who is discovered by the SS. Kurt and Anneliese are sent to Dachau. They both die, but their infant daughter, Liesl, is smuggled out of camp. She is adopted by a French couple who bring her to America. I've always liked stories about World War II and the Jews. This book was well written and suspenseful. I liked the short chapters and it touched my emotions. A gospel message was skillfully interwoven into the story.
