Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Praise for Inge Auerbacher and I Am a Star "Inge Auerbacher's second narrative--about the miraculous rebirth of hope in the heart of Jewish children--is as absorbing and as moving as her first testimony [I Am a Star].--Elie Wiesel, Nobel Prize Winning author of Night on Beyond the Yellow Star to America "Deeply moving and true . . . I cannot think of any book on this topic which I could recommend for this age group as I do this book."--Bruno Bettelheim, celebrated child psychologist and author "This account of one girl's Holocaust experience is rich for its interweaving of autobiography and historical data . . . A moving story . . . [The author's] perspective, while chilling, pierces the heart with memorable imagery."--Publishers Weekly on I Am a Star "While the author's story is personal, there is recognition of the Nazi toll on non-Jews as well as non-Jewish resistance to the ongoing horrors . . . This account will be a revelation of manageable proportions to middle-grade readers, especially those who already know Anne Frank's story."--Booklist on I Am a Star "Auerbacher's poems, incorporated into the text . . . give a child's perspective on the horrendous conditions in Theresienstadt without bitterness or pessimism."--School Library Journal on I Am a Star "A small treasure."--The Jewish Week on I Am a Star

Reseña del editor:

Inge Auerbacher's childhood was as happy and peaceful as that of any other German child--until 1942. By then, the Nazis were in power, and because Inge's family was Jewish, she and her parents with sent to a concentration camp in Czechoslovakia. The Auerbachers defied death for three years, and were finally freed in 1945. In her own words, Inge Auerbacher tells her family's harrowing story--and how they carried with them ever after the strength and courage of will that allowed them to survive. "A moving story . . . [The author's] perspective, while chilling, pierces the heart with memorable imagery." --Publishers Weekly
