Dorit Oliver-Wolff

When Dorit Oliver was just four years old she sang and danced in front of the future king of Yugoslavia. By six years old she was in hiding from the German soldiers who were rounding up and transporting her fellow Jews to concentration camps around Europe.

Years of terror follow, with narrow escapes from capture and bombing raids plus betrayals by those she thought were her
friends until, at last, she and her mother are rescued from the basement flat in which they are hiding. Singing helps her
survive those dark days. But the Holocaust is only part of Dorit’s amazing story. After the war, stateless and without papers, she joins a touring dance troupe in order to be permitted to travel. She studies by day and sings and dances in seedy clubs by night until a talent scout spots her… and then her story really begins.

Tense, moving and inspirational, Dorit’s remarkable story moves the reader through fear and horror, to freedom and joy
and shows how the bravery and fortitude of one little Jewish girl helped her survive the Holocaust and become a star.
