What an amazing story. My daughter wept as we read through the pages together...realizing that character Rachel could not go out for the winter because she had outgrown her shoes was just the beginning of this beautiful, sorrowful tale about what could have been.

"Flowers on the Wall" by Miriam Nerlove

This book tells a fiction story about a young girl in a photograph from Roman Vishniac's book. He went to Eastern Europe prior to the Holocaust to photograph a dying civilization: the Jews of Eastern Europe. This story provides a charming explanation for one of the most poignant photos in his book. It is also a wonderful introduction to the history of the Holocaust for young Jewish children. It portrays the horrors of war to any child. Although Miriam Nerlove does not misrepresent the history, she manges to end her story on a note of hope.
