Review:
-- "Booklist," boxed review Kirk Douglas tells the story of a Jewish child who denies his identity and loses his faith when everyone he loves is killed in the Holocaust....This is not another superficial glossy package by a celebrity who thinks anyone can write a children's book....What will hold children and the adults who read to them is the elemental story of identity denied and faith lost and restored.
