Sample Book Insights:

#1 Truus Oversteegen, born in 1923, was a witness to the worldwide struggles of the Great Depression. She remembered the miseries and struggles of those times as if they were still happening outside her window in Haarlem.

#2 Trijntje Oversteegen, the mother of Truus and Freddie, was a leftist who raised her daughters with leftist values. When the Great Depression hit, their economic situation worsened. They were eventually cut off from the government food stamps and stipend for rent.

#3 Truus was a live-in servant, but things didn’t work out as planned. She spent her very first night in the attic thinking of Freddie and Robbie at home, and was awakened by an unsympathetic German maid named Kathe. She left the house the next morning.

#4 The family was not sheltered from the political upheavals of Europe in the 1930s. The girls learned early on to keep quiet about the activities their mother was involved in, as talking was dangerous. They knew what the Nazis were and what they were capable of.
