From the back of the book:
Hannah doesn't want to attend the family Passover dinner. She's tired of hearing her relatives' stories about the Holocaust. But of course she has to go.
During the Passover Seder, as she opens a door to symbolically welcome the prophet Elijah, she is swept back in time to 1942, to a Polish village where everyone calls her Chaya. Then something terrible happens. Nazi soldiers come to take the villagers away ... and she knows what lies ahead.
The author "adds much to children's understanding of the effects of the Holocaust, which will reverberate throughout history, today and tomorrow."
---School Library Journal
---------------------
Excellent book that explores the Holocaust through a young girl's eyes.
