Back in the late 1990s, Jewish parents whose children were attending religious school began noticing the dearth of literature available to young people that did not focus on scantily clad superstars and non-traditional themes.
Enter Susan Roth, chief executive officer of SJR Associates, who began developing a new concept for a children’s book club catering to Jewish children. In 1998, she launched KinderKlassics.
“I came up with the name ‘KinderKlassics’ in part because ‘kinder’ means ‘children’ in Yiddish,” she said. “But, I also wanted to emphasize, the English word ‘kinder’ – inferring that KinderKlassics would make the world a ‘kinder place’ through its offering of ‘kinder’ classics.”

Hello. Re books for children, I would like to recommend, Don’t Wave Goodbye, edited by Philip Jason and Iris Posner, Preager Greenwood 2004 (800-225-5800). The book contains the memoirs of the only unaccompanied children rescued from the Holocaust by America, many written as children and all concerning their lives as children, as well as adults.
There is more information about the book at http://www.greenwood.com and at http://www.amazon.com you can read excerpts and search it by keyword.
