Goat in the Attic and Other Stories: A Young Girls Memories of Hitlers acheter

"They dont need a reason to shoot people." Sophie Stach Virgilio heard that repeatedly before she was three. When Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939, she was almost a year old. During those years of Nazi occupation, she lived on a farm in Godowa, Poland, with her aunt and her aunts two children. The Gestapo visited their farm regularly, and these inspections were always terrifying because they never knew what the Nazis would do next. In Goat in the Attic and Other Stories: A Young Girls Memories of Hitlers Occupation of Poland, she gives her own unique perspective as a child on Hitlers occupation of Poland. Sophie Stach Virgilio also describes her traumatic departure from her beloved Mamusia and her difficult adjustment to life in America.
