Thanks for the coverage of March

I'm always stunned when someone wants to write about me and my books. Thanks to my friend Liza Wiemer for the review in the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle and to Harry Glazer for the coverage in The Jewish Link. It is truly appreciated and I'm so glad you think "March" is an important book.

​FROM THE WISCONSIN JEWISH CHRONICLE:
"Little has been written about how American Jews helped their brethern in Europe during World War II, but this book helps to illuminate the important effort 400 rabbis took to save lives. ... Holt does an outstanding job of showing how their advocacy led to an important commission that ultimately saved over 200,000 Jews. With photographs, biographies on key individuals, a glossary and more, this enlightening book is an excellent addition to school and home libraries." 

FROM THE JEWISH LINK:
"In her newest children’s book, Holt takes on a serious nonfiction topic and writes for an older audience. In “March: When the Rabbis Went to Washington,” the author draws on historical sources to tell the story of the march on Washington on Oct. 6, 1943, organized by the Vaad Hatzalah. The march, attended by hundreds of Orthodox rabbis from across the U.S., was intended to draw attention to the life-threatening danger facing Jews trapped in Nazi Germany occupied areas in Europe. The book is rich with photos and is thoughtful in providing background on the rise of the Nazi Party and the inaction of the U.S. government. It spotlights the leaders who organized the march, and illustrates the impact of the March on Washington in the weeks and months that followed."
