 Rating: - Very Well DonePassage to Freedom by Ken Mochizuki is a fictional biography of the Sugihara family who saved thousands of Jewish refugees from Poland. The pictures go along very well with the story and are well done. The story is told in first person from Hiroki's, the son's, point of view. The book appears to be well researched and authentic.

Rather than starting him off on the atrocities, I used this well-written and beautiful book to start him off with learning that we Jews were once in grave danger, and there were some people who took care of us when they could, even though it was a difficult choice. 3/4 of the way through reading the book out loud to my son, I started to cry a little. The story is poignant, of course, but more than that, the writing ... Read More
