The twentieth-anniversary edition of Marion Blumenthal Lazan's
acclaimed Holocaust memoir features new material by the author, a
reading group guide, a map, and additional photographs. "The
writing is direct, devastating, with no rhetoric or exploitation.
The truth is in what's said and in what is left out."--ALA Booklist
(starred review) Marion Blumenthal Lazan's unforgettable and
acclaimed memoir recalls the devastating years that shaped her
childhood. Following Hitler's rise to power, the Blumenthal
family--father, mother, Marion, and her brother, Albert--were
trapped in Nazi Germany. They managed eventually to get to Holland,
but soon thereafter it was occupied by the Nazis. For the next six
and a half years the Blumenthals were forced to live in refugee,
transit, and prison camps, including Westerbork in Holland and
Bergen-Belsen in Germany, before finally making it to the United
States. Their story is one of horror and hardship, but it is also a
story of courage, hope, and the will to survive.Four Perfect
Pebbles features forty archival photographs, including several new
to this edition, an epilogue, a bibliography, a map, a reading
group guide, an index, and a new afterword by the author. First
published in 1996, the book was an ALA Notable Book, an ALA Quick
Pick for Reluctant Readers, and IRA Young Adults' Choice, and a
Notable Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies, and the
recipient of many other honors. "A harrowing and often moving
account."--School Library Journal
