ABOUT THIS BOOK
A dramatic memoir of a young Jewish boy and his brother on the run from the Nazis in occupied Europe
When Joseph Joffo was ten years old, his father gave him and his brother fifty francs and instructions to flee Nazi-occupied Paris and, somehow, get to the south where France was free. A Bag of Marbles tells that remarkable and engaging story, bringing to life the dangers facing these two Jewish boys as they eluded the Nazis and made their way, against all odds, to safety. A captivating and unforgettable story that will reward readers young and old, A Bag of Marbles is presented here with an afterword by the author in which he responds to questions that students asked about his experience over the years.
