The world that we knew

Hoffman, Alice (author.).

Summary: "Hanni Kohn knows she must send her twelve-year-old daughter, Lea, away to save her from the Nazi regime. Hanni's desperation leads her to Ettie, the daughter of a rabbi, whose years of eavesdropping on her father enable her to create a mystical Jewish creature, a rare and unusual golem she names Ava, who is sworn to protect Lea. Once Ava is brought to life, she and Lea and Ettie become eternally entwined, their paths fated to cross, their fortunes linked. Lea and Ava travel from Paris to a mountaintop village where three thousand Jews were saved. Meanwhile, Ettie is in hiding, waiting to become the fighter she's destined to be. In a world where evil can be found at every turn, we meet remarkable characters who take us on a stunning journey of loss and resistance, the fantastical and the mortal, in a place where love is never-ending."--Back cover.
