Parent Guide

It’s 1942 and five-year-old Beatrix and her mother are fleeing the Nazi persecution of Jews in Amsterdam. After Nazi officers take Beatrix’s mother off a train, two elderly brothers step in to save Beatrix’s life by pretending she is their niece. The bachelors have no experience with little girls, but with the help of a neighborly grandmother and young teacher, they create a family and safe home for Beatrix. This sweet story is an excellent introduction to the Holocaust and highlights how Righteous Gentiles played an important role in saving Jewish lives.
