Product Detail

Name:	Cat with the Yellow Star: Coming of age in Terezin
Product Code:	9780823421541
Description:	By Susan Goldman Rubin with Ela Weissberger
Product Detail:	With sepia-tone family photographs and children's full-color artwork on every page, this poignant biography of a Holocaust survivor tells middle-grade readers what happened without concealment or exploitation. In 1942, at age 11, Ela Weissberger was transported with her Czech family to the Nazi concentration camp Terezin. She survived, and now, based on extensive personal interviews, Rubin tells Weissberger's story of being a Jewish child in that camp, including how the young prisoners rehearsed and performed the opera Brundibar. There's a hopeful message about the power of music, art, friends, and teachers, but the account never denies the fact that transports were always leaving for the death camps and some of the prisoners did not survive. Individuals who want to learn more will welcome both the extensive notes and the lists of further resources.
