Safiyyah's War by Hiba Noor Khan

5.0

So glad I picked this one up. For those familiar with the picture book “The Grand Mosque of Paris,” this is a great follow up read. Based on true historical events of efforts by a Parisian mosque to aid Jewish people under persecution during world war 2, told from the perspective of a young girl. We see clearly how she may have been impacted by hunger, loss, impact of the holocaust on her neighbors and classmates. Would be a great accompaniment to students learning about this segment in world history.
