This young-adult historical novel tells the unforgettable tale of an extraordinary young German Jewish girl whose struggle to survive the Holocaust is cast in a mystical, spiritual light.
Beginning with a scene where God tells her something just before she is born, Do You Remember follows Chana, whose mother, Miriam, would prefer to give her daughter a less Jewish name, in fear of the growing anti-Semitic environment that has already taken the life of her father.
Because of her blond hair, blue eyes, and strangely detached nature, Chana never fits into the Jewish community. Ironically, however, she is loved and admired by her gentile friends when she switches to a public school.
But then, Hitler gains control of the country, and Miriam's greatest fears are realized. Surrounded by tragedy and adversity, the young girl's gentle spirit, along with her will to survive, is put to the test.
While shedding light on the realities of one of history's darkest episodes, Do You Remember is an ultimately uplifting work of moral fiction. Infused with thought-provoking religious perspective, the novel uniquely blends ideas from Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and Christianity into one deeply moving whole.
