Three small girls standing together
Two tenderly cradling baby dolls
The middle child clinging to her
Friends’ small arms
Her dark hair lifted by the wind
She seems the most serious
Her face holds but a whisper
Of a smile
For this important occasion
All their childish eyes look forward
Into the distant future
That only one will have.
This book was researched and written as a tribute to Susanne Ledermann. She was the childhood friend of Anne Frank, and Hannelei Gosler. They called themselves “Anna, Sanna, and Hannah”. Along with many others, their lives were forever changed by the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in 1940…

Absolutely gut wrenching story. May Sanne, Franz, and Ilse rest in peace.

This was a really really short read. But that's perhaps appropriate as Susanne had a short life.
Sloan has really done her research here and has written a fitting tribute to a young girl who's life was cut short by the Holocaust.
The only thing I would say, is that one of Sanne's friends was listed as Eva Schloss. At the time, Sanne knew her she was called Eva Geiringer.
