Fireflies in the Dark: The Story of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and the Children of Terezin
Covers the years during which Friedl Dicker, a Jewish woman from Czechoslovakia, taught art to children at the Terezin Concentration Camp. Includes art created by teacher and students, excerpts from diaries, and interviews with camp survivors. She and nearly all her pupils perished at Auschwitz, but after the war, 5,000 of the children's drawings, paintings, and collages were discovered hidden in two suitcases.The pictures are now exhibited around the world, and many of them are beautifully reproduced on the pages of this book.
"Elegant in appearance, devastating in content, almost overwhelming in its quiet intensity, this bookis a shining augmentation to the literature of the Holocaust." -- School Library Journal
