very decision embodies risks in an attempt to survive

An outstanding title in the unique UAHC "Do-It-Yourself Jewish Adventure" series for young readers, Escape From The Holocaust by Rabbi Kenneth Roseman (Temple Shalom, Dallas, Texas) is a thrilling adventure story that is also an accurate portrayal of the horrific events arising from the Nazi holocaust of World War II. On every page the young reader confronts the kinds of real life choices that once meant the difference between freedom or slavery, survival or death for thousands of other young people and their elders. The protagonist is a young medical student in Berlin during the 1930s who is confronted by the rise of Hitler and the Nazi's with a choice of returning to his native Poland or remaining to finish his studies. When the holocaust begins, the choices offered are to flee south to Italy or west to Holland. When escape isn't possible any longer, the alternatives are to go into hiding or to obtain false identity papers. Every decision embodies risks in an attempt to survive what is happening around him. Also very highly recommended are two other titles in this outstanding historical series written by Rabbi Roseman: The Tenth Of Av (0807403598, [price]) and The Melting Pot: An Adventure In New York (0807402699, [price]).
