The story is about a young Jew's struggle to survive and his participation in the 1943 uprising. Kirkus Reviews called it an 'unrelenting, heart-rending insight into the hell that the Nazis created. Gripping, powerful, shattering'. The book is illustrated by Caryl Strzelecki and translated by Laura Watkinson.〔 It was mentioned as one of the best books of 2013 by Kirkus Reviews and Publisher's Weekly and won The National Jewish Book Award as well as the silver medal of the Sydney Taylor Book Award and the Batchelder Honor Award of the American Library Association ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aline Sax」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
