Children of Terror
The Reality of War Everyone Should Read
by Inge Auerbacher and Bozenna Urbanowicz Gilbride
"Two very young girls, one a Catholic from Poland, the other a Jew from Germany, are caught in a web of terror during World War II. These are their unforgettable true stories. War does not spare the innocent. Two young girls, one a Catholic from Poland, the other a Jew from Germany, were witnesses to the horror of the Nazi occupation and Hitler's terror in Germany. As children they saw their homes and communities destroyed and loved ones killed. They survived deportation, labor camps, concentration camps, starvation, disease and isolation. This is a moving personal account of history. Urbanowicz and Auerbacher's painful pasts and similar experiences should guide us to make correct decisions for the future."
- Aldona Wos, M.D. Ambassador of the United States of America, Retired, to the Republic of Estonia
About the Authors

The idea was born that they write a book together, complaring their lives and experiences as children growing up in a time of war and terror. Bozenna and Inge share their unique and separate recollections of war, united by the terror of the Holocaust.
