Born in Antwerp, Belgium, Cirla was just five years old when the Germans invaded in 1940 and in this enlightening account she describes the traumatic effect of the Holocaust on her own family, as witnessed from a young child's point of view.
As an innocent observer, unable to comprehend the events taking place around her, Cirla's recollections have a dreamlike quality that makes them all the more poignant.
For a number of years Cirla has worked as an educator at the permanent Holocaust exhibition at the Imperial War Museum in London, where she draws on her own childhood experiences to teach today's younger generation about the Holocaust.
