It is written for children, but it is a book that everyone would gain something by reading. It led to great discussions with my children about everything from the basic rights of humans to the resiliency of the human spirit; from genocide to what our responsibility is towards our country and humanity as a whole. Meanwhile we got to read about the tragic life of one among hundreds of thousands, who survived to make a difference. The actions of the few literally changing the lives of an entire people.
