Biographical note

'Sombre and affecting ... A poignant allegory about the Holocaust' - Kirkus Reviews
'The creators donât mitigate the sadness of this sprawling story, but they do challenge readers to consider something equally profound: the blessings and obligations of memory' - Publishers Weekly
A deeply moving story about hope and friendship in one of the darkest times in history.
Eitan and his best friend Rivka live in a place where children laugh, dogs bark, and neighbours chat. But no one can leave, and once you go through the gates, you never come backâŠ
This story takes place in Vilnius in Lithuania â but it could have happened anywhere in Europe during World War II, when Jews were forced into ghettos and suffered greatly in the hands of the Nazis. Conveying the horrors of the Holocaust in a sensitive but powerful way, Marius Marcinkeviciusâs tale tells the story of two children who experience the horror of separation and Nazi persecution, only to find each other again thanks to a pebble, which becomes a symbol of endurance and survival. Inga Dagileâs illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to this story about true friendship, fear â and hope.
