Trapped in Hitler's Hell is a first-person account of a young German Jewish girl's trials, tragedies and triumphs in the years before, during and after World War II - a wonderful book on so many levels, appealing to every aspect of soul and spirit. First, it's a cliff-hanging adventure story to rival the finest I've ever read. I found it nearly impossible to put down.

Second, it's intellectually satisfying for anyone who's fascinated by modern European history, by a world that allowed Hitler to put his demonic plans into motion, and especially by what it must have been like to live through such terrible times. Third, it's a love story that captures, in well-chosen and well-told vignettes, a daughter's devotion to her mother.

Fourth, it's a story of a rock-solid belief in happy endings, a belief that may appear baseless but seems to be its own reward through unimaginable ordeals. Finally, and most importantly, it's a story of complete faith in the Lord Jesus Christ - in the childlike trust He wants us all to have as we labor through earthly lives that are plagued by loss. It is in fact a story that shows us precisely what it means to live for the Lord ... and to take Him at His word when He promises, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

I was amazed at the description and the emotion of what took place [in Anita's book]. I don't usually cry with books, but at the end when Anita was at the concentration camp awaiting word if her mother was alive or not....I was crying and trying not to peek ahead of what happened. I thought, "Lord, did you take her all that way only to have her mother gone?!" ... Please let Ms. Dittman know that this missionary in _______ truly loved her autobiography and how God was given all glory in her life, even when her life circumstances were not glorious. Thank you also for publishing this book. I plan on having my teenage daughters also read the book now as well. Johanna, missionary
