Roanoke by Sonia Levitin6/28/2023 Separated again in Switzerland, they suffered many hardships before the penniless family was reunited in New York in 1939. In early 1938, three-year-old Levitin escaped from Berlin, her birthplace, to Switzerland with her mother, Helene (1897–1993) and her two older sisters, Vera and Eva, while her father, Max Wolff (1898–1968), a clothing designer and manufacturer, made his way to the United States. Whether Sonia Levitin is writing picture books, mysteries, humor, historical adventures, or Young Adult novels dealing with the struggle of young people to find freedom and meaning in their lives, she says “I’ve come to realize I am always writing my own life story, blending personal experience with research and, of course, imagination.I write for young people because I remember my own youth so well.”
