The Night of the Burning: Devorah's Story
by Linda Press Wulf

Written for children, it tells the story of Linda's mother-in-law, who, with her sister, were the only survivors of a pogrom in their Polish community between the two world wars. They were rescued from an orphanage by a South African philanthropist named Isaac Ochberg, and grew up in that country. The book is beautiful and sad, tender and terrifying. It gives voice to a history needing to be shared.

Beyond Anne Frank: Hidden Children and Postwar Families in Holland
by Diane L. Wolf
(will be available in January of 2007)

An adult book, this describes the lives of survivors who were hidden as children in Gentile homes in Holland--before, during and after World War II. Their experiences were very different from Anne Frank’s. Many describe their experience with, "My war began after the war."

Special events will celebrate both books and authors this year.
Dates and times to be announced.
