"Alone in Front of the Lion," the autobiography of Simone Arnold Liebster, restores individuality and identity to the nameless victims of the National Socialists. It describes her determination to hold on to what remained of her normal life and to fight for her physical and mental survival. Her story is a testament to hope, strength, and courage. Simone's narrative highlights the bravery she was able to muster despite the hardships and tragedies of the Nazi era to preserve her social and religious values. This story should be read, as it allows us to understand the plight of the children of Jehovah's Witnesses during the Holocaust.
