Testimonial
The story of Ruth is moving in its simplicity.
Through hopes, terrors, reunions and separations it is the story of a child who never forgot that she was Jewish.
It is the story of many hidden children who were saved from the Holocaust.
--Beate Klarsfeld, Historian and Director of the Beate Klarsfeld Foundation
