Story of Bodri

A young girl, her family, and her faithful dog face the unimaginable horrors of the Holocaust in this honest, yet hopeful picture book.

Hédi spends her days playing with her dog Bodri in the park, but her quiet world starts to crumble the day she hears Adolf Hitler on the radio.

Germany's leader hates her and her family, just because they are Jewish. And Hitler doesn't even know them--it doesn't make any sense. Soon Nazi Germany invades Hédi's country, and her life changes forever.

Inspired by the author's real life experience, this book is a thoughtful introduction to the Holocaust for young readers. Strikingly honest prose and illustrations share an unforgettable story about a faithful dog, a family in danger, and the power of hope in unimaginable circumstances. Translated by Linda Schenck.
