 * World War II: The Holocaust

At the age of just 13, your family is taken out of your childhood home that always felt safe and comforting. To stay away from danger you hide in an isolated room where you cannot be found, not even by those who you are wishing to find you, you have to stay alone and isolated for your own safety. How will you get by without all of the things you normally have? With no one around to guide you or help you, how will you find a way to survive? To eat? To sleep or talk? How will you find a way out and where will you go? Find the ways that others have survived and lived in such circumstances in order to find your way to a better life, the life your family wanted for you before World War II took them all away, before the Holocaust changed everything. ||
