  Hetty Werkendam was separated from her parents to live in the 'Children's House', a barrack room which directly overlooked one of the open mass graves, and from where she witnessed at first hand the horrors of the Holocaust. This book presents an account of her life in the Children's House, where the awfulness of Belsen was countered.
