The Grey Striped Shirt — Jacqueline Jules

Frannie is looking for Grandma's purple hat with the feather. By accident she discovers a grey striped shirt with a yellow star hidden in the back of the closet. Slowly, she begins asking her grandparents questions during her Shabbat visits with them. Over several years' time, they begin to unfold the story of their Holocaust experience.

This middle reader novel with beautiful full-page art gently reveals the truths about the Holocaust without reducing it to a horror show.
