Epilogue ; Acknowledgements ; Notes 500 From back cover: This is the story of a sixth-grade social studies project that took on a life of its own and captivated a family for more than a year. As an entry for the National History Day competition, the story of the young Jewish partisan named Motele from the Violins of Hope exhibition that we had seen at the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage perfectly exemplified that year's theme of "Taking a Stand in History." We had seen his actual violin at the exhibition, on special loan from the Yad Vashem Holocaust History Museum in Jerusalem. Motele, who was just 12 years old, was recruited to play violin in a German officers' club. Recognizing it as an opportunity to avenge his family's murder by the Nazis, he subsequently smuggled explosives in his violin case and blew up the club. The topic was perfect for our son Ehren: he was about the same age as Motele and he too played the violin. As Ehren researched the story and its historical context and crafted his project--a living history performance that told the story in the guise of Motele himself--Motele's story touched us in ways we could not have anticipated. Over the course of the ensuing year Motele became a part of our family and inspired us to go in search of him and the world in which he lived and died, to find evidence of him in his own time and space. That search took us quite literally to the other side of the globe, as we connected with researchers, historians, and archives in Australia, Germany, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Slovakia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Great Britain, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Austria, Israel, and Canada, as well as with many people, places, and institutions throughout the United States. It has truly been an odyssey worth sharing. This is our story of finding Motele. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xJewish resistance |zUkraine. 650 0 Jewish children in the Holocaust |zUkraine |vBiography. 650 0 History |xCompetitions |zUnited States. 650 0 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 650 6 Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 |xMouvements de résistance juifs |0(CaQQLa)201-0056533 |zUkraine. |0(CaQQLa)201-0500396 650 6 Enfants juifs pendant l'Holocauste |0(CaQQLa)201-0285882 |zUkraine |0(CaQQLa)201-0500396 |vBiographies. |0(CaQQLa)201-0378258 650 6 Holocauste, 1939-1945. |0(CaQQLa)201-0011801 650 7 History |xCompetitions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958245 650 7 Jewish children in the Holocaust. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00982706 651 7 Ukraine. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01211738 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 610 27 Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage. |2nli 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |xJewish resistance |zUkraine. |2nli 650 7 Jewish children in the Holocaust |zUkraine |vBiography. |2nli 650 7 History |xCompetitions |zUnited States. |2nli 650 7 Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) |xStudy and teaching (Secondary) |zUnited States. |2nli 647 7 Jewish Holocaust |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00958866 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1939-1945 |2fast 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 700 1 Timothy Collins, |eauthor. 852 0 |bscstacks |hD804.3 |iC65 F5 2021
