When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit

Written by: Judith Kerr

Upper Elementary and Junior High Grades

"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 Cat with the Yellow Star: Coming of Age in Terezin

The Cat with the Yellow Star: Coming of Age in Terezin

Written by: Susan Goldman Rubin with Ela Weissberger
Junior High and High School Grades

"Ela Stein matured between the ages of 11 and 15 when she was imprisoned in the Terezin concentration camp with other Czech Jews. In horrific conditions, Ela forged lifelong friendships with other girls from Room 28 of her barracks. Adults working with the children tried their best to lift the youngest prisoners' spirits. A children's opera called Brundibar was even performed, and Ela was chosen to play the pivotal role of the cat. With death and fear of transports to death camps a part of every day life, this unimaginable coming of age memoir is persistent in its belief that humans can triumph over evil."
