The Night Crossing
Illus. in black-and-white. It's hard to leave your home and friends, but the
Nazis have invaded Clara's native Austria, and her Jewish family is no longer
safe. Clara and her family take only what they can carry and travel by night to
the Swiss border, where they hope to escape to freedom. Soldiers are
everywhere, and it is Clara's heroism that carries the family across the
border, their lives and few precious possessions intact. "An excellent
fictional introduction to the Holocaust."-- "School Library Journal."
