Is It Night or Day? by Fern Schumer Chapman205 pages
(Based on true events of Immigration and Survival, 1938-1942)
(from jacket cover)
What was it now, I wondered, Night or day? An ending or a beginning?
Twelve-year-old Edith has lived a protected life in the tiny
German town of Stockstadt am Rhein. Now, as brutal acts of anti-Semitism explode in Hitler's Germany, she is about to travel thousands of miles over land and sea to a place that seems as foreign as the moon: Chicago, Illinois. And because her parents can't get permission to leave Germany, she is traveling alone.
Haunted by losses, Edith must adjust to life in a country where everyone she meets tries to define her with a single phrase-German, Jew, enemy alien. And as she struggles to uncover who, in her heart, she really is, the answers arrive from some surprising places.
