Pamela D. reviewed on 12/19/2011

This book was at least as good in 2011 as it was when I read it first in about 1981. These people aren't just good religious people, they are spunky and humorous and human. They face the challenge of opposing the world gone mad under Hitler's regime, and come to grips with worse than life-threatening fears, and succeed brilliantly. It's a delightful peek at 1930's life in Holland, and makes you feel a part of a wonderfully "functional" family. The book also helps you feel the horror of WWII with its tragic destruction of cities, homes and people. It is one of the best books written.
