  "Another good one and very detailed" by Silversolara (see profile) 09/17/24

Ninety-two-year old Teddy realized no one knew about his time in the occupied Netherlands during the war and wanted to make it known.

Karyn, a former journalist, is hired to write his story in return for trying to find her sister who was saved from the Nazis by being sent to live with a family different from the one she went with.

A PLACE TO HIDE does not read as a memoir even though Teddy is telling his story of the sacrifices he made for himself and how he saved many Jewish families.

There is a story in between as he’s telling about his life.

Fans of Mr. Balson will be captivated by his amazing research as he has Teddy recalling everything that happened even though it does get a bit heavy with all that was going on.

World War II enthusiasts will have all the information they could ever want about how things progressed.

The book is very detailed as well as frightening as we find out what went on, but also wonderful to hear what the citizens of the Netherlands did to ease some of the horror. 4/5

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
