The most important aspect of this book is to tell of the miraculous birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Though we celebrate this event on December 25, I have reason to believe that, He, as the Perfect Lamb of God, was actually born in the spring, as all lambs are born. However, we definitely want to honor His glorious birth, whenever it was! And to invite you to join in with this season of great joy and giving, as God did when He gave us the Greatest Gift of all, His Son, Jesus Christ! This book also contains a variety of other short stories that I trust you will enjoy reading. May God bless you.

“You lose your loved ones, and still you want to live.” On 21 July 1942, the Nazis reached the small Polish town of Zolkiew. Life for fifteen-year-old Clara Kramer would never be the same. While those around her were either slaughtered or transported, three families found perilous refuge in a hand-dug cellar. Hers was one of them. Living above and protecting them were the Becks. Mrs. Beck had been the families’ maid. Mr. Beck was alcoholic and a self-professed anti-Semite, yet he risked his life to keep his charges safe. But survival under his protection proved to be anything but predictable. Whether it was his nightly drinking sessions with officers of the SS in the room just above or his torrid affair with one of the hiding women, it seemed that Clara and the others often had as much to fear from Beck as they did from the war. Clara’s mother told her to keep a diary while they lived in the bunker in order to fill her time and “so the world would know what happened to us.” Over sixty years later, Clara Kramer has finally turned those diaries into a compelling and heartbreaking memoir — a story of love and memory and survival.
