Guardian Angel House by Kathy Clark

Guardian Angel House by Kathy Clark

Mama had always told twelve-year-old Susan that there was no safe place for a Jew, especially in German-occupied Hungary in 1944. Susan is skeptical and afraid when she and her little sister, Vera, are sent to a convent to be kept "safe" from the Nazis. Susan and Vera find their lives transformed and soon discover the true nature of courage when they are sheltered by a group of nuns who risk their lives to protect them.

Guardian Angel Housewas the nickname given to a convent operated by the Sisters of Charity in Budapest that sheltered over 120 Jewish children in German-occupied Hungary during World War II. This book tells the story of author Kathy Clark's mother and aunt, who were sheltered there by the nuns.

Includes historical photographs and notes about the author's family and the Hungarian convent that became known as Guardian Angel House.

Clark, Kathy: - Kathy Clark has published three books for children.

It was inspired after watching a Hungarian documentary about the nuns at the Sisters of Charity convent in Budapest and realizing that these were the people who had rescued her mother and aunt during the Holocaust. Kathy lives in Kanata, Ontario, with her family.
