Description
A woman with a bold idea, a group of children with brave hearts, and a small maple tree sapling ... these elements shape the story of The Children's Tree of Terezin. During the worst days of the Holocaust, hope still found ways to thrive, even in the horror of a concentration camp. A council of Jewish prisoners at Theresienstadt Concentration Camp, known as Terezin, were determined to share their knowledge and their faith with the children of the camp. One teacher, Irma Lauscher, found a special way to bring hope to the camp through a little cutting of a maple tree. -- Book jacket.
