Clara's War: One Girl's Story of Survival

Experience the extraordinary, heart-wrenching account of Clara's War: One Girl's Story of Survival, a compelling and inspiring book that delves into the horrors of the Holocaust. In the same vein as The Diary of Anne Frank, Clara's War transports you back to a time of fear and cramped quarters, where one girl's resilience triumphed over unimaginable adversity.

Cara Kramer, a young Polish-Jewish teenager, found her life flipped upside down when the Germans invaded her town at the outbreak of World War II. But amidst the chaos, an unexpected glimmer of hope emerged - the Becks, an ethnically German family, took Clara's family under their wing. Despite Mr. Beck's faults, including his reputation as an alcoholic and an anti-Semite, he defied societal expectations and bravely sheltered not only Clara's family but also two others.

An underground bunker, carved in the Becks' basement, became the refuge for eighteen people for a staggering twenty months. Throughout this arduous ordeal, Clara chronicled their lives in her diary, capturing the unpredictable challenges they faced—from the terrifying house fire to the scandalous affair between Mr. Beck and Clara's neighbor. From the drinking sessions of the SS officers above them to the simple joys found in a shared Christmas meal of oven-baked carp.

Against all odds, Clara's resilience allowed her to survive and share her mesmerizing story. Today, Clara's diary is a treasured piece in the permanent collection of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., ensuring that her voice and the truth it holds can never be forgotten.
