Omschrijving

The twentieth-anniversary edition of Marion Blumenthal Lazan's acclaimed Holocaust memoir features new material by the author, a reading group guide, a map, and additional photographs. "The writing is direct, devastating, with no rhetoric or exploitation. The truth is in what's said and in what is left out."--ALA Booklist (starred review)

Marion Blumenthal Lazan's unforgettable and acclaimed memoir recalls the devastating years that shaped her childhood. Following Hitler's rise to power, the Blumenthal family--father, mother, Marion, and her brother, Albert--were trapped in Nazi Germany. They managed eventually to get to Holland, but soon thereafter it was occupied by the Nazis. For the next six and a half years the Blumenthals were forced to live in refugee, transit, and prison camps, including Westerbork in Holland and Bergen-Belsen in Germany, before finally making it to the United States. Their story is one of horror and hardship, but it is also a story of courage, hope, and the will to survive.

Four Perfect Pebbles features forty archival photographs, including several new to this edition, an epilogue, a bibliography, a map, a reading group guide, an index, and a new afterword by the author. First published in 1996, the book was an ALA Notable Book, an ALA Quick Pick for Reluctant Readers, and IRA Young Adults' Choice, and a Notable Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies, and the recipient of many other honors. "A harrowing and often moving account."--School Library Journal


This unforgettable testament to the strength of the human spirit details one family's courageous journey through one of history's darkest moments.


  • A Firsthand Holocaust Account: Told from the perspective of Marion Blumenthal Lazan, who was only a child when her family was trapped by the Nazi regime.
  • From Nazi Germany to Bergen-Belsen: Follow the Blumenthal family's harrowing six-and-a-half-year ordeal through refugee, transit, and concentration camps.
  • The Hope of Four Pebbles: Discover Marion's secret game of finding four perfectly matched pebbles--a simple act that became a powerful symbol of her family's will to survive together.
  • Essential World War II History: A vital resource for students, this young adult nonfiction memoir includes archival photos, a map, and a reading group guide to bring this important story to life.
