About this ebook
Benno was the neighborhood's favorite cat.
During the week, he napped in a sunny corner of Mitzi Stein's dress shop and begged scrapped from Moshe the butcher. But one night in Berlin, the Nazis changed everything. Life would never be the same.
This cat's-eye view introduces the Holocaust to children in a gentle way that can open discussion of this period.
