The Emerald Matchbook: the True Story of a Hidden Child

A story of courage, serendipity and sacrifice, THE EMERALD MATCHBOOK is the true-life story of Chaya, a Jewish child born just before the German invasion of 1941, who survives against all odds. At once heartbreaking and uplifting, THE EMERALD MATCHBOOK takes young readers on a real-life journey of one of the war’s youngest survivors, one that illustrates the full spectrum of human nature, the true meaning of maternal devotion, and the extraordinary measures taken by the war’s unsung heroes, the “righteous among the nations.”
