More About This Book

Overview

When the Nazi party takes control of Germany, thirteen-year-old Paula, who is deaf, finds her world-as-she-knows-it turned upside down, as she is taken into hiding to protect her from the new law nicknamed T4.

Editorial Reviews

KLIATT
Tiergartenstrasse 4 was the address of the headquarters in Berlin where the Nazi program to exterminate children with disabilities was drafted. Just as concentration camps sought to eliminate Jews, Gypsies and homosexuals from the nation, T4 was a diabolical program that convinced parents that their children would be better cared for by the government, when in reality they were being euthanized. Paula Becker is deaf and friends of her family are aware that T4 will allow officials to take her away permanently. So Paula starts a journey that takes her into hiding and brings her into the world of Old Kurt. Told in free verse, this is a gentle retelling of a horrific situation. Old Kurt helps her to hide her disability. He has his own secrets to hide and the two develop a deep and trusting relationship. The novel is a great addition to the canon of WW II YA literature, helping readers to understand how being different at this time was a dangerous thing. Reviewer: Janis Flint-Ferguson

From The Critics
Thirteen year-old Paula Becker is deaf, a death sentence in Germany in 1939, because the Nazi regime orders the killing of anyone who is disabled or mentally ill. With the help of their priest, Paula's parents send her into hiding, first to live with a retired schoolteacher, and then to a homeless shelter, where she meets "Poor Kurt." Paula and Poor Kurt become friends, enduring hardship and loss over the course their stay at the shelter. After the war, Paula returns home and brings Poor Kurt with her. She learns his real name is Walthar, that he had disguised himself as an old beggar, but is really a young man. He gets work on a nearby farm and a few years later, he and Paula marry. Though they are happy, their guilt over surviving while so many perished, persists. Written in graceful free verse in Paula's voice, this is a riveting account of yet another horror of the Holocaust.

Read an Excerpt

1.

Hear the Voice of the Poet

Hear the voice of the poet!

I see the past, future, and present.

I am Deaf, but I have heard

The beauty of song

And I wish to share it with

Young readers.

A poem can be simple,

About a cat or a red

Wheelbarrow.

Or it can illuminate the lives

Of people who lived, loved,

And died. You can make

People think or feel

For other people, if you

Write poetry. In T4, the facts

About history are true, and

My characters tell the story.

2.

I was born

In a little house

On a street

With tall poplar trees.

I could see

Bluish hills

In the distance.

That was my home.

But my country,

Germany,

Was not my home.

Our leader,

Adolf Hitler,

And the Nazi Party

Hated

People like me.

    Reviewed by Emily Ann for TeensReadToo.com

    Everyone knows about the Holocaust, but not many people know much about Action T4.

    T4 was a program Hitler used to sterilize and/or kill thousands of Jews with disabilities. People like Paula Becker, a deaf girl, were forced into hiding to save their lives. In her free verse poetry, Paula talks about hiding and running from Hitler and the T4 doctors.

    This book was captivating. Before reading it I had never heard of Action T4. It was amazing to read a story through the eyes of a young girl as she is forced to leave her parents and go into hiding.

    This was a short, easy read that anyone would appreciate.
