The War Within These Walls
It was September 1939 when the Germans invaded our country. A month later, they marched into Warsaw and took up residence as if they would never leave.
The war seemed to be over. But after the dust of the bombings had settled, a very different war began...a war against some of us.
Misha and his family are being harrassed by the Nazi's.
Eventually all Jews are required to wear a white armband with a blue star on their right sleeve, they must declare all their belongings and non-Jews are not allowed to shop in Jewish stories.
Misha is sad and angry.
He witnesses his mother dying from starvation.
His father is a doctor.
His sister follows him.
Misha wants to do something...something to change his reality, to make it right again.
This fictional story will take you on a short journey through Nazi's and the Ghetto. The illustrations interspersed throughout the book keep the reader engaged in this tragic history. As I read this book, I felt like it was the first time I was learning about this subject. I wanted to know what happens to Misha's family and would he be able to fight his way out of the Ghetto?
-Excellent story. Middle grades.
