Out of Vienna : eight years of flight from the Nazis / by Ernie Weiss

Ernie Weiss was a young boy when the Nazis took over his native Vienna. His memoir recounts the events his large extended family were caught up in and their desperate attempts to survive. His voice is simple and straightforward, as if he were telling the story to his grandchildren. This gives the book an immediacy that makes it accessible and appropriate for young adults and engrossing for people of all ages.
