Beautiful Chanukah Story:
This is one of the best Chanukah books I've read in a long time. Beautifully illustrated. A great work that introduces the difficult story of the Holocaust and the beautiful story of Chanukah. A great lesson on mitzvahs.
Terrific Book on Hannukah During the Holocaust:
This is a wonderful moving story of a woman who was able to fashion a menorrah for Hannukah out of spoons. Spoons were precious because they were needed to get more food as people were starving and spoons allowed people to get the leftover soups. What a story!

Fun fact: Marci's husband Jack wrote his childhood memoirs titled "Yankee Doodle Boychick." Buy both books and score a one-two punch for children, faith, and family.

Not only it tells about Holocaust, but it also shows the strengh Jews had to... more info
