Echoes of World War II

By Trish Marx

Gladys was just six years old when her parents sent her away to the safety of rural England. Sixteen-year-old Andree-Paule risked her life carrying secret messages for the French Resistance. These are just two of the many children who lived through the devastation of World War II. In Echoes of World War II, you'll meet Gladys, Andree-Paule, and four other children who all grew up during the war in different parts of the world, from England to Japan to Germany. Each had to struggle for survival at a time when many people did not survive. Their stories are stories of horror and sadness, but they are also stories of courage and hope.

A reader from California

This is definitely a childrens book, but a very well written one. Gives enough information for the young reader to peak their intrest or satisfy their desire for knowledge. Lays out the events in easy to understand form and fills in with first person accounts and how it affected them. Just enough information about WWII to help educate the young.
