REMEMBER NOT TO FORGET is a child's first book about the Holocaust. The information is presented in a factual way, conveying its somber nature without including details that could be frightening to children. The book is illustrated with dramatic woodcuts.

Mention 1492 and most people conjure up images of three stout ships making their way west. But 1492 was the year in which the vibrant Jewish community of Spain came to an abrupt end. THE OTHER 1492 details the expulsion of the Jews from Spain and Portugal and their early immigration to the New World. The book received a starred review and editor's choice designation from Booklist and was an American Bookseller Pick of the Lists.
