The true story of Edith Schwalb, a young Jewish girl who was saved from the Nazis by the courage of the entire French village of Moissac.
Edith&amp;#39;s story is remarkable not only for her own bravery, but for the bravery of those that helped her: an entire village, including its mayor and citizenry, heroically conspired to conceal the presence of hundreds of Jewish children who lived in the safe house. The children went to the local school, roamed the streets and ate good food, all without having to worry about concealing their Jewish identity. And during Nazi raids, the children camped out until the coast was clear.
Hiding Edith details not only the amazing courage and struggles of one young girl, but the inspiring spirit of the people she met. Shatta and Bouli Simon, the couple who ran the house, taught the children everything they needed to survive, including how to change their identities in new hiding places once conditions in Moissac became too risky. Sarah Kupfer, another Jewish child in hiding, became Edith&amp;#39;s closest friend, sharing both birthdays and bomb attacks, losses and love. And Muti, Edith&amp;#39;s mother, sacrificed everything she could for her children-even the comfort of having them close at hand.

Hiding Edith - A Holocaust Remembrance Book for Young Readers (Unabridged)

Silence can be powerful.
Kathy Kacer&amp;#39;s second book in her middle grade series about heroic rescues during WWII tells the tale of siblings Helen and Henry, and history&amp;#39;s most famous mime. Desperate to save them from the Nazis, Henry and Helen&amp;#39;s mother makes the harrowing decision to take her children from their home in 1940s Germany and leave them in the care of strangers in France. The brother and sister must hide their Jewish identity to pass for orphans being fostered at a convent in the foreign land. Visits from a local mime become the children&amp;#39;s one source of joy, especially for Henry, whose traumatic experience has left him a selective mute. When an informer gives them up, the children are forced to flee yet again from the Nazis, but this time the local mime-a not yet famous Marcel Marceau-risks everything to try to save the children.
Masters of Silence shows award-winning author Kathy Kacer at the top of her craft, bringing to light the little-known story of Marceau&amp;#39;s heroic work for the French Resistance. Marceau would go on to save hundreds of children from Nazi concentration camps and death during WWII. In characteristic Kacer style, Masters of Silence is dramatic and engaging, and highlights the courage of both those rescuing and the rescued themselves. Wenting Li&amp;#39;s chapter heading illustrations and evocative covers provide the perfect visuals for the series.
