Dandelion
by Lore Segal

In the Austrian Alps before Hitler's annexation, an observant ten-year-old is on a day's hike with her father. Based on the true events of author Lore Segal's experiences, "Dandelion" was initially written in her twenties while in the Dominican Republic, only to be completed recently by Segal at ninety. Published in the March 25, 2019 edition of the New Yorker, one can also listen to the author read "Dandelion" online.
