Life in the Shadow of the Swastika: An Incredible Story of Survival, Bravery, and Renewal
by Frieda E. Roos-van Hessen.

With her vivacious personality and energetic spirit, it is difficult to imagine that Frieda Roos-van Hessen is 91-years-old. More difficult still is imagining the 90 years worth of history her eyes have seen...

This powerful, true story recounts the spectacular journey of Frieda as she struggled to survive the Nazi occupation of Holland. As friends and family fell victim to Nazi annihilation, Frieda, along with her friend Mieka, made one death defying escape after another.

Experience the emotional rollercoaster as courage, hope, and strength are put to the ultimate test. The harrowing detail and riveting action pull you back in time to some of the worst horrors this world has ever seen and offers a new hope for the future.

The book also features many family photos preserved during the war by the van Hessen's Gentile housekeeper.
