How did people survive the repressive Nazi occupation? This compelling first-person account is an eye-opening experience.As seen through the eyes of twelve-year-old Cornelia, Hunger In Holland chronicles the steady deterioration of normal, everyday life; the loss of freedom and security; and the role of the law as food and many of life's amenities became scarce.
