Far Above Rubies, by Cynthia P. Gallagher On the morning of May 10th, 1940, the last thing Sofie Rijnfeld expected was the sky to start raining German paratroopers. She and Jan, her husband of three years, were living contentedly with Jan's six daughters in Amsterdam. Sofie may not have been a beauty, but her warmth and cheerfulness had attracted Jan from the start and endeared her to his motherless children. Life held the promise of a bright future for the Rijnfelds . . . until the German occupation of Holland and a six-pointed star made of yellow cloth with the word Jood in the middle . . . Narrated by her adult niece Mieneke, Far Above Rubies is based on the true story of one woman's courage in the nightmarish hell of Hitler's regime, and her determination to survive it. As the Nazi persecution of Europe's Jewry escalates, all six Rijnfeld girls are called up for deportation. Rather than allow her stepdaughters to venture alone to an arcane fate, Sofie insists on accompanying them, promising Jan to take care of them. After several months in a Dutch transit camp, they are transported to Auschwitz, where Sofie discovers a strength and ingenuity she never knew she possessed. But can her indomitable spirit help keep her daughters alive? Sofie's fortitude will be put to the test many times during the war. But even so strong a woman as Sofie is not left unscathed by the horrors of the Holocaust. Had her decision to go with her stepdaughters been the right one? Far Above Rubies is the story of a woman who refuses to be bested by circumstances. Like a phoenix, she rises from the ashes of tragedy to triumph as a heroine whose story will inspire generations to come.
