"I've come on orders from Berlin to fetch the three children."
--Gestapo agent, August 24, 1944
With those chilling words Christa von Hofacker and her younger siblings
found themselves ensnared in a web of family punishment designed to
please one man--Adolf Hitler. The furious dictator sought merciless
revenge against not only Christa's father and the other Germans who had
just tried to overthrow his government. He wanted to torment their
relatives, too, regardless of age or stature. All of them. Including
every last child. Praise for Ann Bausum's The March Against Fear "An
exceptionally well-written and -researched chronicle of a crucial civil
rights turning point."--Kirkus, starred review "This exemplary look into
civil rights history concludes with perspective and encouragement
regarding ongoing struggles for social change."--Publishers Weekly,
starred review "A must-have volume." --School Library Journal, starred
review
