What happened to the pets that were left behind in World War II Europe, when Jewish families were torn from their homes and taken to ghettos and concentration camps? Most of these accounts are told by people who were children during the Holocaust. In the dangers and privations of war, their beloved pets provided comfort and courage, gave them a connection to happier times and encouragement to never give up hope.

Though countless stories have been told about the Holocaust, the fresh angle of these memoirs illuminate two major themes:
1. The strength and importance of the human-animal bond.

2. The spirit of hope that endures even in the darkest times.
