"A moving Holocaust story for younger readers about a young boy sent to Auschwitz and befriended by a magician...A poignant, inspiring story of friendship, hope and survival.”

The Magician of Auschwitz Kathy Kacer Illustrated by Gillian Newland 9781842349596 32 page 279x216mm Paperback Original £8.99 Reading age: 7+ Rights: UK and Europe

Once there was a renowned magician called Nivelli, who performed before packed audiences in the grandest theaters of Berlin.

Night a`er night, his fans applauded and called out for more astonishing feats of magic. "Bravo!" they would shout, as Nivelli bowed low with a great flourish. But that was in a different, happier ]me, before the Jews of Europe were rounded up and sent to concentra]on camps.

This is the true story of a young boy on the inside of Auschwitz, whose life is changed by the ac]ons of a prisoner who performs magic for the guards and who the boy later learns was the famous Nivelli

Published January 2020 to coincide with the 75th Anniversary of the Libera&on of Auschwitz

New

It is never easy reading a book about the Holocaust, especially one targeted specifically for young readers...The challenge for any writer telling children about this horrific ]me is balance... truth without all the terrifying details.

Kathy Kacer rises to this challenge and knows how important it is that children learn about this tragic ]me in history.

She manages the daun]ng task to not glorify, sensa]onalize or sugarcoat all the facts...Kacer proves that you can talk to young people about serious and sad issues...In fact, educators can use books like this as an entry point to discuss what life might have been like for young people at this ]me and use it as a opportunity and a vehicle to draw upon current events for other examples of situa]ons today that threaten the well-being of other ethnic groups.

"Infused with hope and a message about human capacity for good in the face of evil."--Publishers Weekly

"The dark brooding illustra&ons aptly evoke the darkness and inhumanity of the seong. The only spots of colour are the red in the playing cards and the Nazi arm bands. This is an excellent tale to teach children about the horrors of the Holocaust.”

A heartwarming liUle tale with a simple message about love - that it never fails during difficult Wmes.

The Promise

The night that Rachel and Toby's parents are taken away by the Nazis, they give their daughters three gold coins.

"Use these wisely to help save your lives," they tell them. They also ask the girls to promise that they will always stay together.

This compelling true story follows the girls as they confront the daily horrors of Auschwitz, protec]ng one another, sharing memories, fears and even laughter. Always together. But when Rachel becomes ill and is taken away by Nazi guards, likely forever, Toby risks her life to use the well-hidden gold coins to rescue her liJle sister.

4 “My children and I really liked this story of love between two sisters. The bravery Toby showed in searching for and rescuing Rachel is heartwarming. I am amazed that true stories are s>ll being told from World War II.

The illustra>ons give you a feel for the atmosphere in the concentra>on camps; they are mostly gray, with only a touch of colour here and there”.

“I have been deeply moved. Highly recommended” Rabbi Lionel Blue In March 2000, a suitcase arrived at a children's Holocaust education centre in Tokyo. It belonged to an orphan girl called Hana Brady. Everyone was desperate to discover the story of Hana. Who was she? What had happened to her?

This is her true story Paperback £7.99 ISBN: 9781842348413 126 pages.

“I couldn't put this book down from the moment I opened the first page. Two and a half hours later, book finished, I surfaced! It is fascina>ng and gripping. If you are interested in reading true life stories about holocaust vic>ms, this book is a must. It is also inspira>onal in showing how to make the holocaust events meaningful to a new genera>on”.

Each &tle in this series presents a two-part inves&ga&on of a major event or significant era in world history.

A detailed narra&ve provides an analysis of the immediate significance of events, and their place in the bigger picture, going on to examine the consequences of these events and their impact both on contemporaries and the genera&ons that have followed.

The books are perfect quick-read introduc&ons to drama&c world events, and equally useful as high-interest / low reading level books

‘We all had gas masks.’

The war started in Europe in 1939. We were all given rubber gas masks in case poison gas was dropped from aeroplanes.

Children’s gas masks were made in bright colours to make them less frightening.

Some of our neighbours built Anderson bomb shelters like this in their gardens, but we sheltered in Clapham Common underground station.

It was very dangerous living in London.

Air-raid sirens made a terrible wailing noise when the enemy planes were coming to drop bombs. You had to find shelter quickly.

Small children were put in siren suits to keep them warm in the shelters. This is me wearing one.
