“With sepia-tone family photographs and children’s full-color artwork on every page, this poignant biography of a Holocaust survivor tells middle-grade readers what happened without concealment or exploitation. . . . Rubin tells Weissberger’s story of being a Jewish child in that camp, including how the young prisoners rehearsed and performed the opera Brundibár.”―Booklist
* “This finely tuned collaboration weaves together narrative and memories into one cohesive story of trauma, friendship, and survival. . . . Rich in detail, yet not overwhelmingly dire, this is a book about remembering. . . .”―School Library Journal (starred review)
“Rubin’s title satisfyingly captures an astonishing Holocaust episode.”―Kirkus Reviews
