Curatorial Notes:

• This Hebrew children’s book, published in Tel Aviv as the Holocaust was ending, provides a resistance rather than a victimhood narrative. The main character, a young Jewish girl, saves the lives of many Jewish children by uncovering the Nazis’ plan to kill them, and then fighting with the Jewish resistance to foil those plans.
