Reviews for Tapestry of Hope: Holocaust Writing for Young People

Tapestry of Hope is an important reference work for teachers of the Holocaust in secondary schools and colleges...this anthology is a complex answer to the often-asked question: Why did so many survivors of the Holocaust wait so long before telling their stories? -The Globe and Mail ...a timely addition to Holocaust resources. -Quill & Quire ...very useful in a classroom situation when teaching about the Holocaust because a teacher has a large number of excerpts from which to choose... Tapestry of Hope has good educational value for both a history and a language arts program. Highly Recommended. -CM Magazine
