However yes the rhymes are there the vibrant coloured pictures are there but sadly that’s where my comparisons end. An exhibition in the German Bundestag is to include 16 objects and artifacts from Yad Vashem’s collection, linked to each of the 16 states that comprise the Federal Republic of Germany.

Starting about 20 years ago, we have been able to go beyond these pages and look to thousands of other sources for names,” Avram continues. As the war and the hunt for the French resistors heats up, danger moves closer and closer and entrapment seems a certainty.

The narrative follows a pattern that I’ve seen in so many recent novels, alternating the past and present, tying the two together and this is so well done here. The installation is an updated version of the Yad Vashem Book of Names that has been on permanent display at the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Poland since 2017.

And leaving the empty pages is a remembrance that they also existed, that they also were Jews, they also were human beings. We have picked some trusty old classic resource books as well as tomes that are hot off the press for 2021 to help you come up with the perfect name for your baby. The importance of the Book of Names is that the victims are immortalized for the future, and the past is never forgotten.
