An Unaccompanied Minor's OrdealAt just 12, Gerda Katz braved the journey from Nazi Germany to America all by herself as an unaccompanied minor. Her family escaped to the Dominican Republic -- one of the few countries that offered Jews a haven during the Holocaust. Separated from her family for 21 years, Gerda experiences profound loneliness as she adjusts to a new language, culture, and country on her own.Through photographs, historical documents, and text, this compelling narrative sheds light on the long reach of deep-seated racism in the 1930s and 40s across Germany, the Dominican Republic, and the United States.This third book in the Legacy of the Holocaust series is an essential read for understanding the suffering and resilience of young immigrants, past and present.
