This powerful, discussion provoking story is inspired by the life of a Holocaust survivor.  When the Nazis invade Poland, a son is separated from his parents, each sent to a different concentration camp. Only a father’s gift, a harmonica, keeps the boy’s hopes alive and miraculously, ensures his survival.  A testament to the human spirit.  Grades 4+ and appropriate as  an introduction to the Holocaust.
