Moishe Moskowitz struggled with fitting in as a Jew in Kielce, Poland. This was even before the Nazis invaded. Then when they came in 1939, there were more rules and regulations and finally work camps that were then concentration camps. Moishe is separated from his family as the wolves draw closer to take away everything he holds dear. I have read many Holocaust survival stories, but this one is in verse. Each scene a short poem that conveys the different emotions and pains Moishe experienced during this time. The story that brings the title of warm bread does not come until the end, but it reminds us that even in the darkest places, there is hope. Somewhere there are people that care. This short story is worth reading even if you have read several Holocaust stories.
