Benno and the Night of Broken Glass
By Meg Wiviott
$17.95 h/c / $7.95 pbBenno the neighborhood cat napped in a sunny
corner of Mitzi Stein's dress shop and begged scraps from Moshe the Butcher.
He spent Shabbat evenings with Sophie Adler’s family in Apartment 3B. But
one night the Nazis came to Berlin. Windows were shattered, books were
burned, and Benno’s Jewish friends disappeared. Life would never be the
same. A cat's eye view introduces the Holocaust to children in a gentile way
that can become a basis for open discussion. |
