When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit


When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit

Written by: Judith Kerr

"Nine-year-old Anna was too busy with schoolwork and friends in 1933 to take much notice of Adolf Hitler's rise to power in her native Germany. But when her father is suddenly, unaccountably missing, and her family flees Berlin in secrecy, Anna is forced to learn the skills needed to be a refugee and finds she's much more resilient than she thought."

The Grand Mosque of Paris: A Story of How Muslims Saved Jews During the Holocaust



The Grand Mosque of Paris: A Story of How Muslims Saved Jews During the Holocaust

Written by: Karen Gray Ruelle
Illustrated by: Deborah Durland Desaix

"When the Nazis occupied Paris, no Jew was safe from arrest and deportation. Few Parisians were willing to risk their own lives to help. Yet during that perilous time, many Jews found refuge in an unlikely place--the sprawling complex of the Grand Mosque of Paris. Not just a place of worship but a community center, this hive of activity was an ideal temporary hiding place for escaped prisoners of war and Jews of all ages, especially children. Beautifully illustrated and thoroughly researched."
