Books offer their readers a portable shelter in times of crisis, helping families to frame and process trauma and furnishing resources for building resilience. With an eye toward the current war in Ukraine, we will examine a trove of Yiddish and Ukrainian children’s books that cut across a century of violent upheaval, beginning with the Holodomor and the Holocaust, and continuing into the present. As scholars of children’s literature and culture, we will discuss the meaningful points of connection between the Yiddish and Ukrainian projects of healing and cultural preservation.
