The story of the events of World War II forces readers to think about the past, present and future. The story “Island in the Sea” is the story of a girl from a family of Austrian Jews who was accepted and saved by a Swedish family, this is a look at a large and at first alien world into which a child separated from his family and homeland finds himself. Those who read these heartbreaking pages will receive a kind of inoculation: one can hope that they will not succumb to the temptation to tease a peer if he is “different from everyone else.”
