<\/span><\/strong>Our dear sister in Christ and the author of Trapped in Hitler’s Hell<\/em>, Anita Dittman (80), has suffered a severe heart attack. We would ask that you remember her in your prayers. She is recovering in a Minnesota hospital. Anita went through the WWII Holocaust in Germany as a young girl. Because she was Jewish, she suffered greatly but her faith in Christ comforted and strengthened her during those years.<\/p>\n

Thank you for praying for her during this time. If you would like to write her a letter or send her a card, you may send it to:<\/p>\n
