As a small boy, Pieter Kohnstam lived with his parents in an apartment in Amsterdam during World War II. Anne Frank, whose diary later became world famous, was a neighbor and a sometime babystitter. When the Nazis occupied the Netherlands, the Frank family went into hiding, but the Kohnstams decided to flee. How they made their way across Europe to survive is a powerful story, filled with hardship, danger, miraculous escapes, and the generosity of others - both Christians and Jews - who helped them escape to freedom.
