About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is beginning to ask questions about how people maintain their identity and hope during difficult historical periods. It is a vital resource for families looking to discuss religious heritage and the quiet strength required to stand up for one's beliefs in the face of systemic prejudice. Through the lens of a young boy during the Nazi occupation of France, the story focuses on the bravery of community and the preservation of tradition. The narrative follows Jacques and his father as they travel secretly to a hidden Seder in the mountains. While the backdrop of World War II is ever-present, the focus remains on the emotional resilience and the bond between father and son. This book is best suited for children aged 7 to 11, providing a poignant but accessible entry point into Holocaust history by centering on a specific moment of spiritual resistance rather than graphic details.
