\"Volodkeviciute\"We invite you to purchase a new book \u2013 novel for children in English by the known writer and scenarist. This book is a reminder of the hurtful Jewish history, adult and child\u2019s life segment, which was spent in ghetto and rendered in personified form, which is closer to younger readers. The Mouse Luta and the Cat Micius help girl Miracha stay alive and do not starve to death. Also, they help Lithuanian tailor Julius take out the girl secretly from ghetto in the bag made out of fabric cuttings. The action takes place from the establishment of ghetto till the middle of 1943. Spiritual, physical and moral experiences of people are revealed in inhospitable ghetto surroundings and inhuman conditions. Nevertheless the springs of good exist in the evil empire and together with them the light and peace percolate at the end of the book. \u201cMaybe after reading, a person will not repeat the same bad things, which other people suffered at that time?\u201d, asks the author of the book. \u201cThe love of relatives and friends and the morality of human are the values, which helped to survive and be a human at that time. I hope that such stories will help us communicate around the world and will not let happen the ghetto again.\u201d<\/p>\n
