Synopsis:
The author recounts her experiences in the Terezin concentration camp with the other Jews, detailing how, despite sickness, terror, and loss, the adults tried to make the children's lives more bearable, and she managed to forge lifelong friendships that sustained her through hard times.
About the Author:
Susan Goldman Rubin is the author of more than fifty-five books for children. She has written extensively on human rights in books such as Fireflies in the Dark: the Story of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and the Children of Terezin, which was a Sydney Taylor Award Honor Book and a SCBWI Golden Kite Honor Book, and Freedom Summer: The 1964 Struggle for Civil Rights in Mississippi, which was an ALA Notable Book, a Booklist Editors' Choice and A Golden Kite Honor Book.
