Joseph is just 11, but already he knows the law:
he cannot go anywhere without a yellow star.
Sometimes people try to help, but not always, and
every day means a new challenge for this sensitive
little boy.
Between kindness and contempt, Joseph, his
Jewish friends and their families learn the hard
rules of life in occupied Paris, on the Butte
Montmarte, where they've taken shelter. They think
they're safe, until the morning of July 16, 1942.

One of the world's most extraordinary women, a
firebrand on the front line of protest. She opposed
war and nuclear proliferation, and she fought for
the rights of women, which often landed her in jail.
As a teacher, Paley influenced generations of
writers. The child of Jewish immigrants who fled
oppression in Russia, Grace learned from her
parents a lifelong commitment to fighting social
and political injustice.
