...facts of international politics. International relations are not a game of good cowboys against bad cowboys; very little can be gained by an attitude of righteous indignation that the top boss of Communism be allowed to visit the United States as an honored guest.

The heroines of these two novels are both young Jewish girls trying to stay alive under Nazi rule during World War II. Apart from this common fate, they share several things- intelligence, a sharp instinct for survival, religious indifference, and a strong, hard-dying concern about keeping their virginity...
