Summary: Inge A Girl's Journey Through Nazi Europe
Comment: Much has been written about the millions who were murdered during the Nazis' Holocaust bestiality yet we know less about the effect on thousands of child survivors who suffered separation from family, deprivation and often multiple escapes during World War II. In "Inge" author Gumpert vividly portrays the anxieties and trauma of an innocent young girl under the duress of separation, escape and living on the margin. Inge discovers herself and turns from introvert to courageous escape artist, outwitting adult persecutioners. We also learn about selfless and heroic rescuers. It is fascinating to discover her interactions with peers and even the advent of teenage love during her turbulent youth.
The book vividly presents the gripping dangers and escapades of Inge's teenage years. Even more important, the author reveals Inge's lifelong and unsuccessful struggle to cope with the memories. One feels the author has perhaps finally provided the peace and redemption which escaped Inge during her lifetime.
As a fellow teenage refugee with Inge in 1940-41 (her first love was my best friend Walter), I knew the facts, but I am deeply moved by the compelling story told by this book.

Summary: A gripping story of a young girl dealing with the holocaust.
Comment: This is a book you cannot put down, not the Ann Frank type of
story but of a young girl dealing all on her own with the abandonment of her family, the uncertainty of her family's whereabouts during the war, a love affair with an uncertain
outcome, and the unhappy misery that should not befall a
15- or 16-year old. Because of the tenacity of some kind-hearted
Swiss Red Cross workers she is restored to freedom in Switzerland
and is able to start her training in her life's ambition.
But how she gets there is a cliff-hanger and shows the misery
of the Holocaust in an entirely different light. A true story,
a sad one, but also eventually uplifting.
Rating: 5
Summary: Outstanding Holocaust story for everyone
Comment: I have read a number of books about the Holocaust, but this one is different. It gets inside the mind of a teenage girl who is separated from her parents and grouped with 100 boys and girls in the same situation. They are on the run from the Nazis, first in Belgium and then in France. On one level this is an adventure story of the highest order as Inge moves from one dangerous situation to another. On another level, it is a psychological study of a survivor, and of the burdens that it brings. There is little in the way of sentimentality. Rather, it is about real feelings and inner conflicts. I couldn't put it down, and find myself thinking about it long after finishing it. I purchased six copies to give to family members.
