"More than just an uplifting portrait of solidarity, this is an insightful depiction of the social context of the 1930s and 40s...Useful for students studying the Holocaust, the Labor Movement, and American or European history, the images and messages will have a lasting impact that will reach beyond the lesson at hand."-School Library Journal
