Description/Notes
-Jews -Persecutions -Poland -Warsaw -Warsaw (Poland) -History -Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, 1943 -Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) -Sisters -Heroes -Cats Newbery medalist Karen Hesse tells a harrowing, true story about life in the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII. When Karen Hesse came upon a short article about cats out-foxing the Gestapo at the train station in Warsaw during WWII, she couldn't get the story out of her mind. The result is this stirring account of a Jewish girl's involvement in the Resistance. At once terrifying and soulful, this fictional account, borne of meticulous research, is a testament to history and to our passionate will to survive, as only Newbery Medalist Karen Hesse can write it.
