The Yellow Star That Wasn't takes the reader from the author's childhood as a Swedish Protestant girl in war-torn Finland to Miami, where, faced with a stream of questions about the Jews in Scandinavia, she discovers that she had to leave home to find a home. Interweaving stories and facts about the wartime Jews in Scandinavia, the book is a combination of memoir and history, much of it evolved from the interest expressed by listeners at her ongoing speaking engagements.
