This is a unique work. It is one of the first books written for
young readers describing the early days of the event that has since
come to be known as the Holocaust. Originally written in Yiddish in
1938, it is one of the most accomplished works of children's
literature in this language. It is also the only book for young
readers by Glatshteyn, a major American Yiddish poet, novelist, and
essayist.
Written in the form of a suspense novel, "Emil and Karl" draws
readers into the dilemmas faced by two young boys--one Jewish, the
other not--when they suddenly find themselves without families or
homes in Vienna on the eve of World War II. Because the book was
written before World War II, and before the full revelations of the
Third Reich's persecution of Jews and other civilians, it offers a
fascinating look at life during this period and the moral
challenges people faced under Nazism. It is also a taut, gripping,
page-turner of the first order.
