PRAISE FOR VICTORIA'S WAR:
"A searing reminder of the many lesser-known World War II stories that still need to be told." — Kirkus Reviews
The stories of Victoria and Etta intertwine in the bakery’s attic where Victoria
is held—the same place where Etta has hidden her anti-Nazi paintings.
The two women form a quick and enduring bond. But when they’re caught
stealing bread from the bakery and smuggling it to a nearby work camp,
everything changes.

ABOUT VICTORIA'S WAR:
In Victoria’s War,
Hamilton gives voice to the courageous Polish women who were kidnapped
into the real-life Nazi slave labor operation during WWII. Inspired by
true stories, this lost chapter of history won’t soon be forgotten.
Poland, 1939: Nineteen-year-old Victoria Darski is eager to move away to college but her world is turned upside down when World War II breaks out. When Victoria
decides to go to a resistance meeting with her best friend, Sylvia,
they are captured by human traffickers. Sylvia is sent to work in a
brothel, and Victoria is transported by cattle car to Berlin, where she is auctioned off as a slave.
Germany, 1941:
Twenty-year-old Etta Tod is a hospital about to undergo involuntary
sterilization because of the Fuhrer’s mandate to eliminate hereditary
deafness. Etta, an artist, silently critiques the propaganda poster on
the waiting room wall while her mother tries to convince her she should
be glad to get rid of her monthlies. Etta is the daughter of the German
bakers who buy Victoria at auction in Berlin.
