# Under a Red Sky: Memoir of a Childhood in Communist Romania - Hardcover

by **Haya Leah Molnar** (Author)

Eva Zimmermann is eight years old, and she has just discovered she is Jewish. Such is the life of an only child living in postwar Bucharest, a city that is changing in ever more frightening ways. Eva's family, full of eccentric and opinionated adults, will do absolutely anything to keep her safe--even if it means hiding her identity from her. With razor-sharp depictions of her animated relatives, Haya Leah Molnar's memoir of her childhood captures with touching precocity the very adult realities of living behind the iron curtain.

_Under a Red Sky_ is a 2011 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.
