The holes in the walls of the Warsaw ghetto in 1940 are only large enough for children to squeeze through, so it’s up to the bravest young inhabitants to smuggle food back to their starving loved ones. Nazi guards patrol the walls, and the punishment for being caught is death. Only nine years old, Jack Klajman knows he needs to risk his life to give his family a chance to survive. When the Jews in the ghetto rise up against the Nazis in 1943, Jack turns his smuggling efforts to the aid of the resistance, narrowly escaping during the rebellion.Jack Klajman is only nine years old when the ghetto walls go up in Warsaw. The Smallest Hope is his powerful memoir recounting how he survived by smuggling food from outside the ghetto, and by hiding in a war-torn city among Nazi soldiers. Witness to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the largest act of Jewish resistance during World War II, Jack escapes only through a combination of bravery and luck.
