Overview
Vienna, 1938. Nazi Germany has annexed Austria, but daily life goes on. Jewish girls Thea and Rachel were once best friends, but social differences -- and a crush on the same boy, Jacob -- have driven them apart. Hu, a Chinese boy whose father works as a diplomat, feels adrift in his new city. But as anti-Semitism rises in Vienna and Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, inevitably approaches, Thea, Rachel, Jacob, and Hu find their destinies linked. Can they summon the courage to stand up to evil -- and help each other?
Based on the experiences of author Joanne Starer's grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, and on the little-known true story of Ho Feng-Shan, a Chinese diplomat who saved thousands of Jewish lives, Streets of Shattered Glass is a dramatic, heartrending graphic novel that immerses readers in a tumultuous and chillingly relevant moment in history. Full of empathetic characters who are full of personality and agency, it will be a favorite for kids as well as for parents and educators.
