About the Author:
Betty Ren Wright held many positions in her twenty-nine years at Western Publishing in Racine, Wisconsin, including that of managing editor. She began her writing career while working at Western Publishing. She has written picture books, middle grade books, and young adult novels. Her books have received multiple awards; she is also a recipient of the Harry and Lynde Bradley Award for Major Achievement in writing.

Ronald Himler has illustrated many children’s books, including A Picture Book of Lewis and Clark by David Adler. He lives in Arizona.

From Booklist:
Gr. 3-5. Through the biographies of two Jewish children, this picture book for older readers will bring home to grade-schoolers what the Holocaust meant to kids like them. Nothing is sensationalized, but the facts are terrifying. The history is told from the point of view of children who were there, and no false comfort is offered. Hilde Rosenzweig lived happily with her family in Frankfurt, Germany, until Hitler came to power, and her life was restricted by vicious anti-Semitism. Eli Lax never met Hilde: he lived in Czechoslovakia in a mountain village. Then World War II broke out, and the Nazis came. "They planned to kill every Jew in Europe." The SS murdered Hilde in a freight train filled with poisonous gas. Eli died in the gas chambers in Auschwitz. The text is quiet, the particulars inexorable, drawn from Adler's interviews with the surviving relatives. The illustrations are powerfully realistic, contrasting the light-filled happiness of the pre-Nazi times with the gray-toned and sepia scenes of the roundups and camps. One unforgettable picture shows Eli in bed, rigid with terror, hearing his cousins scream as they are taken away in the night. In fact, the pictures are almost overwhelming at times, taking up much of every page. Leitner's autobiographical The Big Lie (1992) is just as stark and uncompromising, but the restrained occasional charcoal illustrations allow for some distance. Despite the format, Hilde and Eli is not for very young children. It will be an important resource in the middle grades, especially in curriculum units where kids can talk about it together with an adult. Hazel Rochman^R.
