As World War II nears its end, Miriam and the women in the camp plan a very special party for the children. They are making toys - incredible toys out of scraps and rags. For when the soldiers come and the war is over, they will celebrate their freedomOne Potato Review
On the making of toys in a concentration camp. Clearly directed toward readers with some prior historical familiarity. Kindness and generosity in even the worst of all possible surroundings. For the risks this story takes - hallelujah.
