It Rained Warm Bread

I loved this book and have since referred to anyone and everyone I can. It gave me incredible insight to the life of Michael Moskowitz and his struggles of survival in the Holocaust era. My parents, also being survivors, did not share their experience with their children, as painful as it was. This is a book of fearless hope and inspiration. Kudos to Gloria Moskowitz-Sweet and Hope Smith for an amazing story told in beautiful poetry.

This amazing book, sparse in language and deceptively simple, delivers a powerful punch. It doesn't turn its back on Evil, nor treat violence gratuitously. It's a reminder to stay vigilant, do right, stand strong, and speak out. Heroes come in the form of soldiers, but also as women who serve hope in the form of bread. It Rained Warm Bread will change young adult lives the way The Diary of Anne Frank has; and, like the Diary, is essential reading for people of all ages.

This book is a must read for everyone. We are living in a time that is at risk of forgetting the greatest lessons that history has to offer us. The book reminds us of how a boy, his family, and a whole generation before us has experienced the best and worst of humanity.The simplicity and plain truth of this book make it a powerful wake up call for our time.

Moishe Moskowitz's story is preserved and honored through beautifully written verse and accompanying illustrations. The reader is instantly drawn into a world as the child Moishe saw and understood it. This is a story of unfathomable resilience and hope derived from a loving upbringing. Though the targeted age is 9-13, this is a must-read for older children and adults as well.

It can be difficult to teach sensitive individuals and children how difficult life has been and about those who have overcome heart breaking situations. It Rained Warm Bread gives light to truth. It is beautifully written, thought provoking and touches your heart.

This beautifully written book, deceptively simple and quick moving, reminds us all that we must stay vigilant, strong, strategic and “alive” when being hunted mercilessly by “treacherous wolves” inflicting insurmountable evil, pain and hopelessness. An amazing story of human resilience!

Having had the honor of knowing Moshe Moskowitz personally, it is a story that should be available to all - including children who have no knowledge of the Holocaust. He was a beautiful man.

This book is a must for all middle school kids. It is so important we never forget what happened in ww11 but this book sends a message of hope and love durring the worst
