Name:	Fireflies in the Dark: The story of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and the Children of Terezin
Product Code:	9780823416813
Description:	By Susan Goldman Rubin
Product Detail:	Fireflies in the Dark is the story of an art teacher who was sent to the Terezin concentration camp. Art teacher Dicker-Brandeis packed art supplies in her luggage rather than personal items. Rubin’s book talks of Friel’s wonderful influence over hundreds of doomed youngsters, terrified by the separation from their families. Her teaching ability and artistic talents were instrumental in providing an island of sanity in a horrific situation, and in giving an outlet to the children's emotions. Lavishly illustrated with artworks by the Terezin children (preserved in two suitcases in a barracks attic), the book is a chronicle of light in the blackest of hours, and of a despicable period in human history. A list of references-books, videocassettes, recordings, and Web sites (many readily usable by young people)-is included.
