Bookroo's summary
Thirteen-year-old Moishe faces the horrors of the Holocaust as his family is torn apart and he endures brutal labor camps. Amidst despair, a simple act of kindness from Czech women rekindles his faith in humanity. Can hope survive in a world overshadowed by fear and loss? Discover Moishe's journey of resilience and the power of small mercies in the darkest times.
From the publisher
Moishe was thirteen when the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939 and he was sent to Auschwitz. His home was ravaged, his family torn apart by illness and abduction. Years of brutality drew on as Moishe moved from one labor camp to the next. Finally, towards the end of the war and at the peak of Moishe’s deepest despair, a simple act of kindness by a group of courageous Czech women redeemed his faith that goodness could survive the trials of war: That was the day it rained warm bread. Deftly articulated and beautifully illustrated, this is a strong addition to the ever-important genre of Holocaust testimonies.
