Hanoch Teller is a globe-trotting modern-day maggid (storyteller of yore) renowned as the King of the Storytellers and will be speaking on "Heroic Children," his latest work. The book which is being called the next Ann Frank, represents every stripe of a young Jewish victim, from every corner of Europe and from every religious, national and socioeconomic background. What they all shared in common was an iron will to live - but not at all costs. Their determination to hold onto their dignity and principles make these unforgettable stories a zenith of human achievement. Heroic Children is a work of prodigious scholarship and spellbinding narrative.
