The Orphan Rescue
Written by Anne Dublin; Illustrated by Qin Leng
It’s 1937, and Poland is suffering from the effects of the Great Depression. Miriam and David live with their grandparents after the death of their parents. Unable to remain in school, Miriam works in a butcher shop while David faces a worse fate — he is sent to the Jewish orphanage. When the unscrupulous orphanage director sends David out to perform dangerous work in a factory, Miriam must do everything she can to save her brother.
