About the author
Fanya Gottesfeld Heller
5 books7 followersFanya Gottesfeld Heller was born in 1924 into a traditional Jewish family in the small Ukrainian village of Skala. Just over a decade later, Fanya was beset by hunger, marked for death, and faced with the constant threat of execution. Fanya, her parents and brother were hidden from the Nazi death squads through the kindness of two Christian rescuers, a Polish farmer and a Ukrainian militiaman. Despite the incomprehensible conditions, Fanya miraculously survived to live a full life and shares her message of hope.
Love in a World of Sorrow: A Teenage Girl’s Holocaust Memoirs documents her family’s wartime existence and her complex relationships with her rescuers.
Fanya’s original intent in writing her book, was to uncover the truth about the death of her father which to this day remains unexplained. But in writing her memoirs, she came to understand the importance of her story both as family history for her children and grandchildren and as a contribution to the Holocaust record. The publication of her book was greeted with warm praise for her bravery and described the difficult choices she had to make as she did everything possible to insure the survival of her family.
Her friend, fellow survivor and Nobel Laureate, Elie Wiesel has said, “Everyone who listens to a witness, becomes a witness himself.” In reading Fanya’s story, you too will become a witness.
Love in a World of Sorrow: A Teenage Girl’s Holocaust Memoirs is included in the curriculum of prestigious educational institutions including Princeton University, Yale, and The University of Connecticut. It served as the basis for her film, Teenage Witness: The Fanya Heller Story, released in 2010 when it was broadcast on PBS and its affiliate stations. Narrated by Richard Gere, the film tells Fanya’s story of survival through archival clips, photographs and live action testimonials and reflects her interaction with inner city teens.

Hidden a true story of the Holocaust, by: Fanya Gottesfeld Heller, is about a nineteen year old jewish girl who lived during the Holocaust. It tells about the places that she used to hide from the Nazi soldiers. It also talks about the people that had helped her.
In my opinion this was a good book. I was never really bored while reading it. I think that I liked it mostly because it was a true story. If it wasn’t a true story I’m not sure I would have liked it as much. However I didn’t like that it was only one person’s perspective. I would have liked it a lot more if it was more because then I would be able to better understand what it was like to have to hide that long. This book also made me sad just to see how mean people can be.
Without suffering there is no peace. If the jews hadn’t been able to endure suffering for so long then they never would have been able to see peace in the world again.

A super quick read that was intriguing. It maintained my attention the whole time and had a great perspective of how a young girl hid in extremes conditions during the Nazi rule.

The book Hidden A True Story of the Holocaust by Fanya Gottesfeld Heller is about this girl named Fanya and who is Jewish and lived during the Holocaust. She looked out the window and saw these men in german uniforms in Fanya's town and trucks and also had rifles and kicking on other people's doors and she heard people screaming and scattering in different directions. This book was a heart touching feeling and it was a great book that I rated it a 5 because it deserved a 5. In my opinion, I thought it was going to be scary and it was because if you think about and imagine your in that situation it would be scary and thank you god were not in that situation. So I recommend this book for you guys to read.

Hidden by Fanya Gottesfield Heller is one of the most compelling stories I have ever read. It follows the footsteps of the author during her traumatic experience during World War 2 when Adolf Hitler sought sovereignty over the world. During her experience, she meets many new faces, and while the majority of the ones with her is family, these new faces bring up conflict and stress during the time they hid.
This novella starts off with an opening sequence describing how the Germans would barrage into homes and search for others like her, the Jews. After this short sequence, she dips into how life was before Adolf Hitler began his reign, describing the small markets, packed street-corners, and the small population. Her father was the only one to have gone to school in that family, so he was well known in that area, making their journey far more difficult. When the Axis forces began pushing their front into Skala, where their family retreated inside their home while the search began.
The immense detail put into this story really brings a sense of reality to the situation, and at times I felt myself holding my breath as the family in the story did when they were hiding. The description of Fanya's hair moving around due to lice gave me absolute chills, but they were necessary in order to feel what she felt. Constant reminders of hunger, thirst, and despair are mentioned several times over, and never fails to deliver an impact to the reader.
I feel the mentioning of her father reciting literature and poems to keep everyone under control in the attic was a much-needed touch. It showed his caring, compassionate side, something the novella does often to convey that sense of realism. It is beautifully crafted, however, I feel if Fanya remembered more, the book should have been longer. The flashbacks of them hiding is far too brief, lasting only about 75 pages. Had that been stretched out, I feel like our emotions might have been tugged on to a little more. People she had known dies in the book, and while it is unbearable to read and hits us hard, I feel with an expansion on who they were might have conveyed some people a bit more.
The entire novella is from her perspective since it is a real story, and often times goes into so much detail that I found myself wincing at times. She doesn't hide the facts or the details and for GOOD reason, it shows us the horrors of the holocaust and what families went through. It is a fantastic piece of literature and is something that everyone should read when they get a chance.

The title of the book that I read is, Hidden by Fanya Gollesfeld Heller. The book is based on a true story about Fanya, it took place when the Holocaust was happening. It is about the Germans and Hitler killing jews, Fanya had to survive the whole thing and had to starve for about 3 years. She rarely had any food, many people were killed around her. She had trauma and was scarred for a very long time. It impacted her life a lot and she never knew if she would survive the attack, it took years for her to survive off of scraps and few resources. She had a hard life and she survived through that whole thing.
The theme of this book is, always be grateful for what you have. Always take a chance when something so little is given as a gift or just something from kindness. I say it as the theme because Fanya had very little food and resources when she was surviving the holocaust, she took whatever people gave to her even if it was scraps of food, or even simple rain water. She took anything that would help her survive, when she was older and the war ended, and when she had her own children, she overfed her children to the point they gave most of it to their dog. Fanya did that because she didn't want her kids to starve and go through what she had to go through when she was younger, she had trauma and she took anything she could eat or drink due to her hunger and faith in her surviving this tragic event. She was thankful for anything she could get her hands on.
I liked this book because it gave interesting facts that I didn't know before. It was a book based on a true story and I liked how it was scary and intriguing. I hope people read this book for knowledge on the Holocaust, the book was not confusing, it was really understandable and easy to read but I would recommend it for a bigger audience so they understand it more. It was believable because it was something that did happen and it affected many people's lives, the authors writing in style made everything more interesting, because she was the main character in the book and she was telling her story about what she had to go through so that made me want to continue reading it and it was not a short book either. I'd recommend reading it.

A story of true survival.
This non-fiction book tells the story of how her and her family survived the Holocaust. Fanya Gottesfeld Heller gives you a first hand experience on how going through the Holocaust as a Jew in Europe was horrifying. Approximately 6 million Jews were killed during this tim, but Gottesfeld Heller lives to tell her story.
For me, this book was an easy read, because there wasn't many words I cam across that I needed extra clarification on. This book is a fairly short read, can easily be read in a few days or less depending on how much the reading is interested. I have only read one other book that compares to this one, which was Night by Elie Wiesel, and I would say they are about equally as good. This book is intended for ages 12-14, but anyone who finds interest in the Holocaust would enjoy this read.
Fanya and her family lived a pretty modest life before the war, but then everything changed once Hitler demanded that all Jews must be sent to concentration camps. Fanya and her family must immediately seek out hiding. However, this comes with awful consequences of starvation, disease, and other horrifying situations. Main characters are Fanya, her father Benjamin, her mother Szencia, her brother Arthur, Ukrainian police officer Jan, and her fathers friend Sidor. Fanya and her family wouldn't have stood a chance if it wasn't for Jan and Sidor.
Overall I really did enjoy this book, I have always enjoyed reading and learning about the Holocaust, because it is unbelievable. I think this would be a great book for students learning about the Holocaust in a History class to read or and English class studying Non-fiction. This book has such great detail on what her and her family went through, and I'm sure what other survivors went through as well.

this story is told threw the eyes of a little jewish girl living in Poland. she lives with her mom and dad and a little brother named author, she also has a crush on a non-jew name jan. as she gets older, world war two starts. at her town, most of the people din't like jews, now that the germans are here the real problems start. the germans start by taking all the jewish children out of school, they then burn all the books that they own. they are all then forced out of their homes, and the germans start to kill the jews. Fanya and her family try to hide, but it gets harder for them. go through the eyes of a girl named Fanya, who survived the holocaust.
Fanya tried her best to stay hidden from the german soldiers, from hiding in the tiniest spaces, to the smelliest of barns, because of this she survived. even though she got sick and went through several comas when she hid in the secret space of a barn, she survived. even though she loved jan, she knew that she couldn't marry him because he was a non-jew, but she did end up marrying a kind hearted jew, like herself named Joseph. after she moved to the united states, she went through therapy, because of what happened, and because of this she was able to write this book openly.
my opinion on the book was that it was very sorrowful, but it gave me an idea of what happened to the jews who survived the holocaust. the whole time I felt mournful for her and her family, who barely had enough to eat. by the end though, it was indeed happier than the beginning, with fanya marrying somebody right and her having a child. she also moved to New York,where she wanted to go since she was a kid. she then ended up having a good life in her later years, so overall I think it was good book.

Hidden (A true story of the Holocuast)by Fanya Gottesfeld is such an inspirational story. I would truly read it a million times. It’s a story about an 18 year who is jewish and her and her family’s town of Poland called Skala got attacked by the Germans they had to hide in a shed full of eggs. This war lasted for two whole years. While this war was going on her and her family hid in the house of his father's friends house. But Fanya was 18 and had a true love with a police man that was ten years older than her. His name was Jan and they truly loved each other but could never get married because he was a German police. Fanya and her family hid in different places trying their best not to get shot. But then one day when the war was over they moved someplace new since the war was over but the fighting on the streets was not so it was still very dangerous. Fanya had to say goodbye to Jan and then one day her father went out to go buy groceries but never came back. Rumors had it that the last person who saw him was Jan. “Did Jan have anything to do with my father's death?” Fanya kept asking herself that question. Fanya got married to a man named Joshope. Then her and her family moved to new York. She had three children and lived a happy life with her family. I recommend this book for those who want to learn the meaning of life and why we live. This book really taught me to appreciate the choices and chances I have. I also recommend this book to young readers 5th-8th graders.

An informative, tear jerking story is the book written by Fanya Gottesfeld Hidden is the story of how a young girl named Fanya Gotterfeld had to hide in order to survive the war around her. Fanya Gottesfeld Heller spent so many years in a situation most people would not be able to handle at the age she had to endure the situations she was put in. Heller was constantly fighting for her life. She was hidden with her family by a man who had a doughnut bun that was only big enough for a few people, yet they were able to fit all four family members. They stayed under that barn for two and half years with no water or light, to add on air was extremely scarce. They had to live in very dirty conditions in order to survive. The book was a very interesting book, I found it to be very appropriate for the age group it is for. I would describe the book to be for entertainment but mostly to inform the audience about the kind of things people had to go through in order to survive the holocaust.

In 1942, Nazi soldiers marched into Fanya’s town. She, along with her family, had to hide to survive.
And the places she had to hide in (for years) was heart-rending.
Intended for 5th to 8th grade readers, this autobiographical account of her survival is detailed enough to touch children's hearts and to be outraged at the atrocities of the Nazis against the Jews. Yet there were those, who against the odds, did their best to help those who were their friends - before Hitler turned them against each other.
I think the kids will be as interested in Fanya's story as they are with Anne Frank's.

This book is an amazing and short read. Sitting right at 100 pages, it offers a great insight for experiences during the Holocaust. I have always been interested in this area of history.
Hearing stories about what people went through really makes you appreciate the freedoms that we have here in America. Yes, there is still racism and anti-semitism, but nothing is compared to what these people went through. It was very brave of Fanya to write this book and I’m grateful for her honesty!
“…know about the past, appreciate the life you have now, and make your own contributions to a better future for all.”

I would like to read the adult version of this story, but even the middle-grade version was haunting. I've read a lot of Holocaust memoirs and I still heard something I hadn't before. The circumstances this young woman experienced during the war are appalling, shocking, horrifying, and terrifying--and she never went to a camp. This was just her family in hiding.
The one-sentence paragraph that will never leave me is this: "I never found out."
It's obviously a paraphrased, shortened version modified for younger readers, but even still...a powerful, disheartening story to encourage the world to never, ever again create a situation like this. For anyone.

As with any true story of horror and hope, this one serves as a reminder and an inspiration. I found it charming and horrific at the same time. Everytime I read a book about the Holocaust I am reminded that there are truly amazing people in the world who have walked difficult paths before me. It also reminds me, a Christian, upper middle class woman with everything I could ever need, that I should not be so complacent nor bored, nor unsatisfied with my life. This book is nice and short and well written for the middle school reader.

Hidden is a true story of the Holocaust written Fanya Gottesfeld Heller. In this story she meats this boy and his name is Jan and he likes her.And he protected her so much she relisies he likes her. And then she starts to fall in love with Jan. Her father gets shot from coming back from one of Jan,'s friends house because they can't live in there grandparents house.So it is just her, her brother, and her mom. I rated this a 4 star because I love learning about the Holocaust , because we are reading a book that relates to the Holocaust.

This was an amazing book. I enjoyed every second. First they were in hiding in a supporting character Jans house. Then they had to hide in another character attic and then behind there chicken coop. Then they survive in the jungle after the resistance dies they somehow don´t die. The scene of everyone dying in the forest hit me hard because because there is a lot of death. My favorite character is jan because he adds a lot of depth to the story. All in all this was a great book.

I got a free copy of this book during a PD at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in NYC. The author was going to speak, but unfortunately she passed away about a week earlier. This book is about her experience during the Holocaust. It is probably good for younger teens or anyone that likes to read personal narratives, or historically based literature.

This was a great book because it was a whole new prospective on world war 2. In this book the main character is the author so it was amazing to see her point of view and her life story and how it effected the rest of her life like she always overfed her children so the would never be hungry. This was a great book and I think anyone who loves history would not want to put it down(like me!)

Wow, what a touching read. This was an amazing read to understand what the Jews went through. I have never read a story from that perspective. the tears, the fear, the everything this person experienced. She was honest and open and I loved that.
for the person who wants to understand the Holocaust better.

Rated a middle school read. A personal account of survival during the Holocaust. Easy read. Can’t really put it down. You want it to end well. But usually it’s just the author - everyone else friends and family are killed. At the end the author makes a Point to say live your life to the fullest. And that there are caring people who put there life on the line to help the Jews.

I loved reading this book. Found it lying around where I work. It's simply written but it says SO MUCH. It's interesting because it gave me answers to my own life. It's a very moving book. It made me so sad but at the same time, it gave me answers I needed. Stories like this should be as widely known as possible, I'm so glad it's author shared her story and she did it very well.

A great insight into the life of Fanya during the war. Told in a way that is accessible to younger readers without glossing over things too much. I liked that there was details in at the end about some of the main people in her life.

A feeling of inconclusiveness ... unless that was intended. I would have liked to have known, even in the Epilogue, whether or not her family searched for her father ...
But, perhaps they were unable to ever do that ...

Stories of the holocaust break my heart. Its hard to imagine that people were able to survive the conditions there were forced to live in. This is a quick read of how one girl survived and was able to move on with her life.

I’ve always been interested in furthering my knowledge of the Holocaust. I definitely learned more about it from this book. Fanya had an absolutely horrible beginning to her life, but was able to live a long life.
