I just finished reading the book "We share the same Sky" by Rachael Cerrotti, it tells the true story tracing her grandmothers' footsteps who managed to escape from Prague as a jewish teen refugee.
I recommend it highly also because of it's contemporary relevance. Hopefully it will come out in german, swedish and italian soon, since this dark period of time has left its traces until today, not only in Europe.

Gerade habe ich das Buch „We share the same Sky“ von Rachael Cerrotti zu Ende gelesen. Unter anderem erzählt Rachael ihre wahre Geschichte auf den Spuren ihrer Großmutter Hana, die als Jüdischer Jugendlicher Flüchtling aus Prag fliehen musste.
Es ist nicht nur wunderbar geschrieben, ich empfehle es auch wegen seiner Aktualität. Hoffentlich kommt es sehr bald auf deutsch, schwedisch und italienisch heraus, da diese dunkle Zeit ihre Spuren hinterlassen hat, nicht nur in Europa.
Ho appena finito di leggere il libro di Rachael Cerrotti "We share the same sky". Non è solamente scritto magnificamente, lo consiglio per la sua attualità. Rachael racconta la sua vera storia sulle orme di sua nonna Hana, che é stata una giovane rifugiata ebrea.
Spero che sarà tradotto in Tedesco, Italiano e Svedese presto, dopo ché questo tempo buio ha rilasciato le sue tracce fino a oggi non solamente in tutta l'Europa.
Jag har just läst Rachael Cerrottis bok "We share the same sky". Den är inte bara skriven sensationellt, jag rekommenderar den också för dess aktualitet. Rachael berättar sin sanna historia i fotspåren av sin mormor Hana, som var en ung judisk flykting.
Jag hoppas att den kommer att översättas på svenska, italienska och tyska snart, eftersom denna mörka tid har släppt sina spår fram till idag inte bara i hela Europa.
