Shadow of His Hand (Wendy Lawton)

Shadow of His Hand

A Story Based on the Life of the Young Holocaust Survivor Anita Dittman

Daughters of the Faith: Ordinary Girls Who Lived Extraordinary Lives.

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.

Shadow of His Hand is based on the real-life story of Anita Dittman, a Holocaust survivor. It follows her struggle against Nazi persecution and her growth in her relationship with God through the worst of times.

Endorsements: 

A captivating story of a courageous and sensitive Jewish Aryan girl who longs for a father’s love and finds it in a faith not her own.  I cried both tears of sadness and joy with Anita, and I couldn’t put the book down.  This is a shining contribution of Christian faith despite hardships during the Holocaust.
