The Boy in the Suit­case: Holo­caust Fam­i­ly Sto­ries of Sur­vival is a unique­ly dif­fer­ent Holo­caust book. It reads like an intrigu­ing nov­el, such as the title chap­ter which tells the sto­ry of an infant smug­gled out of Ger­many in a suit­case and raised in the Domini­can Repub­lic. Each chap­ter tells a dif­fer­ent sto­ry of fam­i­lies through­out the world who have been affect­ed by the Holo­caust. This book also cov­ers the trau­ma of sec­ond gen­er­a­tion chil­dren of Holo­caust sur­vivors and the brav­ery of Chris­t­ian fam­i­lies who hid Jew­ish chil­dren in Quareg­non, Bel­gium. The Boy in the Suit­case includes inspi­ra­tional sto­ries from nations such as Rus­sia, Poland, France, Ger­many, Hol­land, Hun­gary, and the Domini­can Repub­lic. Intel­li­gence, courage, and the will to sur­vive per­me­ate each remark­able chap­ter. Appro­pri­ate for ages 12 to adult.
