Clara's War - Clara Kramer

Clara's War - Clara Kramer (2009)

 Teenage Clara and her sister and parents,  are forced into hiding from the Nazis in rural Poland during the second world war.  Close neighbours hide 18 jews in a bunker below their house, without any space to stand and with limited acess to food and bathroom facilities.  It is also amazing that German soldiers end up living in the room above the bunker for several months toward the end of the war.

Throughout this ordeal, Clara keeps a diary of events of their daily survival, and like Anne Frank, it is a miracle story of a childhood almost beyond our imagination now.
