It Rained Warm Bread: Moishe Moskowitz's Story of Hope

At thirteen, Moishe Moskowitz sees Nazi forces enter Poland, and his familiar life is torn apart. After he is separated from family members, he is compelled through forced-labor and concentration camps. Hunger, violence, and uncertainty govern daily life, while small acts of kindness help him retain hope. Hope Anita Smith tells the account in verse; it draws from the life of Gloria Moskowitz-Sweet’s father, and Lea Lyon provides its artwork.
