Edith's Book by Edith Hessen
The extraordinary true story of how the young Edith Velmans, from a sophisticated Jewish family in The Hague, was hidden by a Dutch family during the war at enormous personal danger. Edith survived but her mother,father, grandmother and one of her brothers died - all of which is described in this truly moving book. The story is told partly through straight narrative but partly through diaries and letters that Edith kept .
After the war Edith married, had twin daughters and eventually emigrated to the USA, though she returns frequently to Europe. One of the daughters lives in west London with her husband and children - Edith's grandchildren.
