We will be discussing Twenty and Ten by Claire Huchet Bishop. Based upon actual events, twenty school children hide ten Jewish children from the Nazis occupying France during World War II. The story of these children is a breathtaking example of children in the role of rescuers.
*You may also like ... Number the Stars, by Lois Lowry. It is the story of Annemarie Johansen, a 10-year-old Danish girl, who undertakes a dangerous mission to save her best friend. The story of Annemarie is an introduction to the choices Non-Jewish children faced during the Holocaust and an introduction to the role of rescuer.
This blog was created to share information about the parent-child book discussion commemorating Holocaust Remembrance Day.
