Yolen, Jane, (author.).

In Poland in the 1940s, the lives of twins Chaim and Gittel feel like a fairy tale torn apart as they must rely on each other to endure life in a ghetto and the horrors of a concentration camp where they lose everything but each other.
1942 Poland. For twins Chaim and Gittel, life in the ghetto-- and then the concentration camp-- feels feel like a fairy tale with evil witches and dangerous ovens looming on the horizon.
