"Pair this skillfully crafted book with . . . other Anne Frank resources to expand the context of the Holocaust experience." --Booklist, starred review

A Time to Hide captures a powerful true story of Holocaust survival, told through personal testimony, historical photographs, and evocative new illustrations.

When Grete and Julius fled Nazi Germany, they never imagined they'd be forced into hiding in a Dutch attic. While in hiding, their daughter Marion was born--a moment of light amid the darkest of times. Years later, Marion Seidemann Fredman shares her family's courageous story of love, loss, and resilience in this visually rich, nonfiction picture book.

What Makes This Book Essential:

- A Rare Firsthand Story: Told by a child born while in hiding during the Holocaust--now sharing her family's story with the next generation.
- Visually Immersive: Blends historical photographs, forged documents, keepsakes, and newly commissioned illustrations.
- Accessible for Young Readers: Includes historical context, a glossary, and a translation guide--ideal for classrooms and intergenerational reading.
- Legacy and Memory: Honors the lived experiences of Jewish families during World War II and the quiet heroes who helped them survive.

A Time to Hide is a vital Holocaust story that honors memory, teaches history, and helps ensure the next generation understands and remembers this powerful legacy of survival.
