Once

The audiobook "Einmal" by Morris Gleitzman tells the moving story of 9-year-old Felix, who lives in an orphanage. Despite the assumption that his parents are dead, Felix struggles to learn the truth about their situation. In 1942 in Poland, the lives of Jewish booksellers are severely affected by the threat posed by the Nazis. When Felix witnesses book burnings, he decides to run away to warn his parents. On his journey, he meets little Zelda, whose family was murdered, and begins to understand the real dangers posed by the Nazis. This story addresses themes of courage, survival, and friendship in a time of great distress and has been awarded several prizes, including the Catholic Children's and Youth Book Prize 2011. The audiobook offers a compelling narrative that appeals to both children and adults and provokes thoughtful reflection.
