A testament to the power of stories, and how they may bring hope
even in times of darkness.
As night falls, the women gather their children to listen to Mara
tell her stories. They are stories of light and hope and freedom,
stories of despair and stories of miracles, stories of expected
pain and stories of unexpected joy--all told in the darkness of the
concentration camp barracks.
Through extensive research noted in the back of the book, Gary
Schmidt has skillfully woven together stories from such sources as
the Jewish religious scholar, Martin Buber; Holocaust survivor,
Elie Wiesel; and folklorists, Steve Zeitlin and Yaffa Eliach.
Combining lore of the past with tales born in the concentration
camps, Mara's stories speak to us from a time that must never be
forgotten.
