Hiding Edith is the true story of Edith Schwalb, a young Jewish girl sent to live in a safe house after the Nazi invasion of France. Edith's story is remarkable not only for her own bravery, but for the bravery of those that helped her: an entire village, including its mayor and citizenry, that heroically conspired to conceal the presence of hundreds of Jewish children who lived in the safe house. Intensively researched and sensitively written, this book both comforts and challenges a young reader's spirit, skillfully addressing both the horrors and the hope that children experienced during the Holocaust.

She realized that by witnessing history she gained the knowledge and legitimacy to be able to stand in the footsteps of the survivors.

The remarkable true story of a young girl named Edith and the French village of Moissac that helped her and many other children during the Holocaust.
