Secure Your Copy The Boys Who Saved The Children Authored By Margaret Baldwin Available Through Volume

memoirbyproxy is very short, less thanpages, but packs a lot of wallop for its size, It tells a story I'd never heard of: in order to prevent a rumored "Aktion" aimed at eliminating the children from the Lodz Ghetto, a group of child laborers made a beautiful fur coat as a birthday present for the wife of a prominent Nazi officer.
Each pelt in the coat had a label giving the name and age of the child who'd worked on it, The coat, in addition to being a bribe, was supposed to show that children in the Lodz Ghetto could be productive and useful to the German war effort.


According to the story, it worked, kind of, Every child who worked on the coat was allowed to spend a week at a special holiday camp in Marysin, maybe where everything was clean and the beds had sheets and they could eat their fill, which probably prolonged their lives.
And the Aktion was postponed, . . sitelinkfor a little while,

I have never heard of this anywhere else and wonder about the veracity of the story, but in any case it's a beautiful story and suits its intendedtoaudience.
The descriptions of the suffering in the ghetto are implied rather than directly stated, and it's never outright said that deportees are being sent to their deaths.
A good book if you can get it, A short account adapted from a larger book, Growing up in the Holocaust by Ben Edelbaum, I grabbed it at a used book sale thinking it might be a good introduction to the Holocaust for Sophie, but I think I'll still wait a bit before she reads this so she can be more mature to better understand the things that occurred.
I read this book not thinking I would like it but I ended up loving it, The book talked about the Nazis invading the Germans homes and lives, This book had a very good perspective on how the peoples lives were during this time,
This book talked about boys who worked in a factory and made a coat to convince the soldiers not to take all of the children, The coat ended up saving the children as it says in the title, This book showed me how ordinary people can d very big things and make a great impact,
I loved this book so much but it was awfully

short, I wish it would of lasted longer, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that can tolerate intense stories, Ben Edelbaum describes the courage and strength which held his family together during the terror of the years in the Lodz Ghetto until they were separated in Auschwitz.
