description: AN AMAZING INSIGHT INTO LITTLE KNOWN WWII HISTORY  Caught within the ever-approaching steel jaws of Nazi exterminators in 1939, a nineteen-year old German Jewish girl keeps a diary as she and her family desperately flee Europe for their lives. Across European countries, they endured to preserve their lives one hour, one day at a time-always one step ahead.  Leah's Journey is a true story of Rebecca’s Mother. Her diary entries are at times frightening, fraught with danger, yet filled with a trust in the Almighty and her lucky star.  In June of 2017, Rebecca and her husband journeyed with other descendants saved by the Righteous Gentile, Aristides de Sousa Mendes, as they recreated the flight for life, beginning in Bordeaux and concluding in Lisbon, Portugal.  This riveting memoir includes the original German diary, English translation, and documents.  Truly a story for the ages!
