A Time to Hide captures a poignant Jewish tale of resilience and hope through a powerful collection of historical photographs and documents, as well as beautiful new illustrations, shedding light on one of history's darkest moments. When Grete and Julius fell in love, they dreamed of building a new life together in Germany, close to their families. They never imagined they’d be forced to wear yellow stars marking them as Jews, rely on forged papers with false names, or hide in a stranger’s attic in Holland—with their newborn baby just downstairs, in plain sight of the Nazis. Author Marion Seidemann Fredman chronicles her parents’ experiences during the horrors of World War II and how they survived by taking life into their own hands. Each page weaves a tapestry of memory, blending historical papers, photographs, keepsakes, and family paintings saved and passed down through generations. Combined with brand-new, evocative artwork by nationally acclaimed author and illustrator Elisa Kleven and sketches by newcomer Diane Dove, the result is a uniquely moving depiction of love and survival during the Holocaust. Also included are an author’s note with a family album, plus historical notes featuring key terms and a translation guide. A story of bravery, self-sacrifice, and the enduring human spirit—Fredman’s family history serves as a powerful reminder of a past not too long ago, and the importance of keeping these stories and memories alive.
