FIREFLIES IN THE DARK: The Story of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and the Children of Terezin

Susan Goldman Rubin, . . Holiday, $8.95 (47pp) ISBN 978-0-8234-1681-3

Rubin briefly profiles Dicker-Brandeis, a Bauhaus-trained art therapist who brought art supplies with her when she was deported from Prague to the Terezin concentration camp and then gave art lessons to the children there. "The children's paintings, crisply reproduced in color and briefly analyzed, and their poems are poignant testimony of a tragic history," noted PW. Ages 8-12. (Sept.)
