Adler, David A.
The Number on My
Grandfather's Arm.
Photos by
Rose Eichenbaum.
N.Y.: UAHC Press, 1987.
For ages 5-9.
How do you describe the in-
describable — especially to
young children? Yet, because
it is so indescribable, the
nightmare of the Holocaust
must be told.
A young girl and her grand-
father share a warm, loving
relationship. She wonders
that he seldom takes off his
jacket and never ever rolls up
his shirtsleeves — even in the
summer. One night as they
are about to wash the dishes
together, Grandpa forgets and
rolls up his sleeves. Although
he tries to hide it, the little
girl sees the number on his
arm. The girl's mother (his
daughter) says quietly, "It's
time you told her."
As they sit together, he tells
her of his life as a young boy
in a small Eastern European
village, of Hitler coming to
power, of Nazi propaganda,
the destruction of syna-
gogues, concentration camps,
the loss of his friends and his
family.
They sit together for a long
time in silence and tears.
Then his granddaughter tells
him, "You shouldn't be
ashamed to let people see
your number. You didn't do
anything wrong. It's the
Nazis who should be asham-
ed."
The photographer is the
daughter of Holocaust sur-
vivors. Her daughter is the
little girl in the book.
The grandfather (not a
relative) is also a Holocaust
survivor who helped the U.S.
War Crimes Branch prepare
for the Nuremberg Trials and
has testified at the trials of
Nazi criminals including
Adolf Eichmann.

Kvetch's Itch," a rare disorder.
This dreaded disease, which
causes everything the kvetch
complains about to come true,
can only be relieved by prais-
ing the good in one's life.

Just Enough is Plenty; a
Hanukkah Tale.
Paintings by
Seymour Chwast.
Viking Kestrel, 1988.
For ages 3-8.
This Chanukah tale is a
wonderful read-aloud for the
whole family to share.
In classic Yiddish folktale
tradition, the value of helping
those in need is stressed —
"always having something for
the stranger who knocks on
our door."
In a Polish village, a needy
family with barely enough for
their own Chanukah, wel-
comes a poor peddler into
their home. The next morning
the peddler is gone, but he
has left gifts for the family.
Could the peddler really have
been Elijah the Prophet?
Lasky, Kathryn.
The Night Journey.
Drawings by

N.Y.: Puffin Paperback
Books, 1986.
ALA Notable Book.
Winner of the National
Jewish Book Award.
For ages 10-14.
Neither 13-year-old Rache
nor her great-grandmother,
Nana Sashie, really enjoy
their daily visits very much
until Nana Sashie talks
about her childhood in old
Russia. Nana Sashie
describes Czarist Russia of
1900 where Jews were forced
to serve in the Czar's armies
or murdered in pogroms, but
were not allowed to leave the
country.
Nana Sashie, her im-
mediate family and that dis-
tant time take on a new reali-
ty for Rache as she is drawn
into their story. The family of
seven, includng a young man
of soldier age (Sashie's
father), his wife, two babies,
an old grandfather (who is
sure he's going to die any
minute), an aunt and young
Sashie are determined to
escape across the border and
on to a better life.
It's nine-year-old Sashie
who comes up with most of
the escape plan which in-
cludes dressing in Purim
costumes, hiding the gold in
hamantaschen and riding in
