Description

In Nazi-occupied France in 1941, four-year-old Ruth Kapp learns that it’s dangerous to use her own name. “Understand that,” her older cousin Jeannette warns her, “your name is Renee and you are French!”
A deeply personal book, this true story recounts the chilling experiences of a young Jewish girl all the way through the Holocaust. The Kapp circle of relatives flees one home after any other, helped by simple, unusual people from the French countryside who risk their lives to offer protection to them. Ultimately the circle of relatives is forced to separate, and young Ruth survives the war in an orphanage where she isn’t allowed to see or even mention her parents. Without the trappings of lofty language or the faceless standpoint of history, this first-person account poignantly recreates the terror of war seen through the eyes of an innocent child. Your Name Is Renee is a tale of suffering and redemption, fear and hope.
