A story based on the life of Holocaust Survivor Anita Dittman
Young Anita Dittman's world crumbles as Hitler begins his rise to power in Germany, but because she's a Christian and only half-Jewish, Anita feels sure she and her family are safe from the final solution. She couldn't have been more wrong.
Anita Dittman dreams of becoming a ballerina. Its not long until the reality of being a Jewish girl in Nazi-ruled Germany dashes those dreams. When her Aryan father abandons his Jewish family, Anitas life becomes the stuff of nightmares. "Dont draw attention to yourself," her mother often whispers. "If they dont notice you, they'll leave you alone." But no one hides from Hitlers fury.
As the persecution intensifies, Anita and her family must leave everything and everyone they love - even each other. Will no one hide them from this Holocaust? In the midst of unimaginable suffering, Anita discovers that even when the whole world dissolves into chaos, her heavenly Father continues to hide her in the shadow of His hand.
