Book Description
Memoirs of a Jew born in 1924 in Uzhhorod, relating how he and eight of his nine siblings survived, helping each other and other Jews. After their region of Czechoslovakia was annexed to Hungary in 1939 and the latter was then occupied by the Nazis in 1944, he and his siblings were sent into hiding. Protected by non-Jews, Katz maintained his religious observance. His parents and brother Pinchas were imprisoned in the Uzhhorod ghetto, then sent to Auschwitz, where they were killed. His brother Joe reached Switzerland when emigration was possible. In Budapest, his sister Chana hid as an "Aryan", was arrested, and escaped. She helped her sister Terry and brothers Sonny and Moshe, who had earlier helped their brother Yankel and other Jews hiding on a farm. Moshe witnessed the Sálaszi Iron Cross terror, including the mass drowning of Jewish children. After the war his sister Manca found their brother Louie very ill and nursed him back to health. Moshe helped Jewish refugees after the war, in Prague and Paris. He then moved to the U.S., where he continued living a religious life and helping Jews.

Book Description
A powerful look at an unforgettable era in history “If we take these children, we can never betray them, no matter what the Nazis do.” During the German occupation of France, twenty French children were brought to a refuge in the mountains. One day a young man came to their school with a request: Could they take in, and hide, ten Jewish refugee children? Sister Gabriel spoke up. “The Nazis are looking for those children. If we take them we must never let on they are here. Do you understand?” Of course the children understood—but how would they hide them if the Nazis came?

Book Description
It’s bad news when you wake up in the morning and find you’ve lost your head, especially if it’s an especially agreeable and handsome head, but there you go, such things happen. In any case, the man who loses his head in The Man Who Lost His Head isn’t about to grin (that is, if he could grin) and bear it. No, he’ll make himself a new one, and starting with a pumpkin and moving on to a parsnip and finally picking up a block of wood, he sets about getting it just right. Still, for all his efforts, it somehow isn’t right. It isn’t the head he had before. It turns out that only a brash bold boy can save the man who lost his head from losing it altogether.Claire Huchet Bishop’s charming parable is illustrated by the great Robert McCloskey, whose books for children include One Morning in Maine, Blueberries for Sal, and the Caldecott Medal–winning Make Way for Ducklings.
