Named Honor Book of the Year by the Childrens Literature AssociationWinner: 2003 Canadian Jewish Book Award for scholarship on a Jewish subjectFinalist: 2003 Alberta Book Awards Scholarly Book of the YearHow do childrens books represent the Holocaust? How do such books negotiate the tension between the desire to protect children, and the commitment to tell children the truth about the world? If Holocaust representations in childrens books respect the narrative conventions of hope and happy endings, how do they differ, if at all, from popular representations intended for adult audiences? And where does innocence lie, if the childrens fable of Roberto Benignis Life is Beautiful is marketed for adults, and far more troubling survivor memoirs such as Anita Lobels No Pretty Pictures: A Child of War are marketed for children? How should Holocaust Studies integrate discourse about childrens literature into its discussions? In approaching these and other questions, Kertzer uses the lens of childrens literature to problematize the ways in which various adult discourses represent the Holocaust, and continually challenges the conventional belief that childrens literature is the place for easy answers and optimistic lessons.
