My Name Is Alice

A first-person memoir of Alice, an indomitable courageous spirit, told by her as she views things in the voice of her age at the time of the Holocaust in Czechoslovakia. Alice will move you, make you want to finish the book in one reading. You will learn about places and times no longer here, about heroism, about acts of kindness remembered for three quarters of a century and now passed on to you, with her diagrams of places and streets, and a lesson plan for tolerance. Timelines are seamlessly woven into the narrative so you can learn the historical context painlessly as you follow Alice's journey. This book is a well- researched and well-documented work of history that can be used as reference for students. It is not a small paperback story, but a large tome that can be read over and over. The book is best read and shared with family members, including those who were alive at or near that time. We recommend parental guidance for younger children. You will treasure this keepsake, its cheerful inside and out despite the horrors that Alice endures. The book is for all people of all faiths. Descriptions of Jewish customs are all explained, and any Yiddish or Hebrew words are translated. This book is easy to read because of its large bold print set on full sized cream pages, and it is easy to read because you will be captured by Alice's voice. We hope you will find it moving and life altering. And a child shall lead them!
