Clara Kramer
About this listen
On 21 July 1942, the Nazis invaded Poland. In the small town of Zolkiew, life for Jewish 15-year-old Clara Kramer was never to be the same again. While those around her were either slaughtered or transported, Clara and her family hid perilously in a hand-dug cellar. Living above and protecting them were the Becks.
Mr Beck was a womaniser, a drunkard, and a self-professed anti-Semite, yet he risked his life throughout the war to keep his charges safe. Nevertheless, life with Mr Beck was far from predictable. From the house catching fire, to Beck’s affair with Clara’s cousin, to the nightly SS drinking sessions in the room just above, Clara’s War transports you into the dark, cramped bunker, and sits you next to the families as they hold their breath time and again.
Sixty years later, Clara Kramer has created a memoir that is lyrical, dramatic, and heartbreakingly compelling. Despite the worst of circumstances, this is a story full of hope and survival, courage and love.

A beautiful moving story of survival.
Wonderfully read, touchingly written, this book is incredibly compelling. Sad but inspiring, a tale of extraordinary kindness and dedication from the most unexpected source, combined with a family’s courage and determination to survive under horrendous circumstances. Everyone should read this book.

Extraordinary
Nothing short of extraordinary, what Clara and her family endured . Well written account of Clara's experience of the holocaust. That any one survived this is mind boggling. So beautifully read .
