The poems in Resilience are about Jewish children in Germany, Poland, and other areas of Eastern Europe enduring the events of the Holocaust (1941-1945 CE. )
Deeply moving stories brought to life like never before.
The suffering and death proved too much for many people – they despaired. However, for the children in these poems, they found hope in suffering, endured, and even fought back.Their experiences are varied: Some children escaped, others were forced to survive the horrors of the concentration camps. Many hid. But they survived.
An important piece of Holocaust history vividly captured through poetry and art.
These poems speak with the voices of survivors of the Holocaust. The poems in Resilience are about hope despite atrocity, love despite cruelty, and about finding the strength within and surviving.
