"Translation of אחות לנו קטנה The author shares a largely unknown story of Jewish children who survived the Holocaust by spending time in sanatoriums in Switzerland before and during the Holocaust. The author, Jutta Zehner, suffered from tuberculosis. Her family was forced to make a terrible choice: send her for a long stay in a Christian sanatorium in Leysin, a tiny village in Switzerland, or watch her be crippled and perhaps even die of the dread disease. It is the story of Jutta, and many more Jewish children hidden away in childrens sanatoriums. And it is the story of Jews determined not to let these hidden children be lost to their heritage. About half of the book includes short biographies of the Rabbis who helped her become the woman she is today".
