Whispers from the Ghettos

Written by Kathy Kacer.
Published in 2009 by Puffin.

The stories in this book come from behind the walls and barbed wire of Europe’s ghettos during the Nazi regime. We hear the voices of young boys and girls as they live with the fear that they might be deported to the death camps at any moment. Theirs are stories of courage and determination, of struggle and resistance. They speak for those who, like them, managed to survive the war. And they speak for those who did not.
