A Jewish boy learns about his Eastern European ancestry and the meaning of remembrance in this powerful picture book, based on a true Holocaust story. Year after year, Eli watches the solemn lighting of seven candles at his family's celebration of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. On such a happy occasion, his parents and grandparents always seem sad, and Eli can't understand why. But when he travels to Eastern Europe to learn more about his family history, Eli learns how the candles represent his family's connection to the Holocaust in Lithuania, and how remembering his ancestors can help heal years of grief and shame. This moving story is based on the true life experience of Sneider's grandson. Illuminated by Bill Farnsworth's sensitive brush strokes and muted palette, the book can be used as an introduction to World War II and the Holocaust and discussions about family history. Named an ILA/CBC Children's Choices Book and a Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People by the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) and Children's Book Council (CBC).
