"This book is a wonderful reader for children and primary students to enjoy and learn fromóas
individuals or in a classroom setting. The story also presents a strong message of acceptance of
others, the problems with making premature judgments about people, and an appreciation of
diversity -- which are major goals of the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education toward
meeting the legislative mandate."
Dr. Paul B.Winkler, Executive Director, New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education
"New Bear on the Block is a book that all classrooms should actually have and be a part of the
opening days of school...it really sensitizes children to the feel and needs of being accepted into a new community, a new classroom."
Gayle Daniels, Principal, James Rhodes Elementary School, Philadelphia
"There are really deep themes here...that schools are trying to address in their classrooms -- the ideas of fairnessÖof welcoming new students...of not jumping to conclusions...of really getting to know people."
Ilene Appel Marker, Director, Drexel University Philadelphia School Partnership |

"Voices from the past and voices from the future combined to make certain it never
happens again. An important contribution."
Thomas H. Kean, Governor of New Jersey (1982-1990) and established the nation's first statewide Holocaust Commission
"The encounter between students and Holocaust survivors in classrooms throughout the United States is one of the most morally compelling and emotionally moving
educational experiences available to students today. Words for All Time documents that experience, giving voice to the imperative that survivors feel to bear
witness and to the response of students to that very act of witness. Sadly, they will be among the last to experience this privilege. Happily, the New Jersey
Holocaust Commission has captured this experience in a work that is charming, moving and compelling."
Michael Berenbaum, Professor of Jewish Studies, American Jewish University, Los Angeles, Former Director of Research Institute, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum |
