Yellow Star by Jennifer Roy *
From 1939, when Syvia is four and half years old, to 1945 when she has just turned ten, a Jewish girl and her family struggle to survive in Poland's Lodz ghetto during Nazi occupation.
My thoughts: This was a powerful and moving story told in free verse poetry. Syvia was one of only twelve children to survive the Lodz ghetto, that at one time held over a quarter of a million people.
