Anita Dittman with Jan Markell

Anita was a young Jewish girl living in Germany with her sister and Jewish mother when Hitler came into office. Anita became a Christian at 7 years old and was befriended by a Lutheran pastor and his congregation. By 1939, her Aryan father had abandoned them to avoid the cost of being married to a Jew. Anita survived the camps of the Holocaust. Her book, Trapped in Hitler's Hell (co-authored by Jan Markell), tells her story.
