Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Ground Never Lets Go is a collection of historical persona poems about a Jewish girl, Sara, growing up in Germany before the outbreak of World War II and her struggle to survive through the Holocaust and its aftermath. Although there are other characters to provide context (particularly her father, Avraham, and the commandant of Treblinka, Franz Stangl), Sara's story conveys a coming of age arc under the most dehumanizing conditions: bleeding as a woman, rape, sexual exploitation, and pregnancy in Nazi camps. However, through her survival, there is hope.
