| Summary |
The former UK Children's Laureate and award-winning author of We're Going on a Bear Hunt traces the losses of several relatives during the Holocaust and his adult search for information about their stories. |
|
This is the true story of Michael Rosen's search for his relatives who "went missing" during the Second World War -- told through prose, poetry, maps and pictures. When Michael was growing up, stories often hung in the air about his great-uncles: one was a clock-mender and the other a dentist. They were there before the war, his dad would say, and weren't after. Over many years, Michael tried to find out exactly what happened: he interviewed family members, scoured the internet, pored over books and traveled to America and France. The story he uncovered was one of terrible persecution -- and it has inspired his poetry for years since. Here, poems old and new are balanced against an immensely readable narrative; both an extraordinary account and a powerful tool for talking to children about the Holocaust. |
