I first read "Letters From Rifka" when I was about 12 years old. In the last ten years I have reread the book over and over until I know quite a few passages by heart. The excerpts of poetry from her book, Pushkin, are beautiful and moving, and applicable to every page they are found on. Rifka's story is inspiring and touching; the recreation of a time, or an event that changed history, through the eyes of a young girl is powerful. This book shows children what it was like to be a jewish person in a time of great terror and opens their eyes to a world that they have only ever heard about. It is a moving book and worthy of recognition and reading. I recommend this book to everyone, if only just to see WW2 through Rifka's eyes and experience her life.
