The Precious Few: An Inspirational Saga of Courage Based on True Stories (Holocaust Books for Young Adults)

The Precious Few is based on a thousand true stories and documents the love and dedication of a young brother and sister, Polish Jews, during the tumultuous start of World War II. We follow them as they struggle to stay alive, and retaliate against their oppressors. Many of the stories and events portrayed in the book will be startlingly new, even to Word War II buffs. The book reveals a different side of the stereotypical view of the Polish people and the Nazis occupiers, swiftly moving through the Polish history of World War II and to the Israeli War of Independence and beyond. The subplots and the chance meetings and interactions of the central characters create a flow of life rich in spirit and driven by determination. Remnants of families lost to concentration camp horrors spawn a new era of a Jewish culture–a mindset to fight back against the oppression and victimization of any people.
