Amsterdam Publishers is proud to announce the release of Hiding in Holland: A Resistance Memoir, a compelling Holocaust account by survivor, Max Rothschild, and his daughter, Shulamit Reinharz.
A generously documented, beautifully written book, Hiding in Holland captures Max Rothschild’s harrowing journey as a German Jewish onderduiker (hidden person). Hiding first in a haystack, then in a brothel with individuals he didn’t know, then for 2 years living with someone he didn’t like, next for a year with a couple he adored and finally alone with his girlfriend, Max recounts his roller-coaster ride as a hunted Jew in his early 20s. Gradually he understands that he must not only hide, but must also resist. From these experiences and his diary writing he makes the case for unarmed resistance. Max also reveals surprising adventures, such as his deep friendship with a German army deserter and his decision to compose an underground newspaper that his courier girlfriend would distribute.
Max’s daughter, Shulamit Reinharz, an acclaimed scholar and winner of the 2024 Leo Baeck Medal for the study of German Jewry, provides background information for Max’s account. She challenges the widely held stereotype of the “valorous” Dutch people, referring to the Netherlands’ record as the Western European country with the highest percentage of Jewish annihilation during the Holocaust. It took until 2020 for the Dutch government and organizational leaders to acknowledge these truths.
📖 Hiding in Holland: A Resistance Memoir is available for purchase in hard-cover, paperback, and e-version through Amazon and select independent bookstores. 📖www.HidinginHolland.com

Hearing the Story Monster Theme Song throughout the San Diego International Kids’ Film Festival award ceremony was pure joy. After the ceremony ended, as the audience exited the theatre, Sergio Godoy asked Zach to strum the tune on his guitar, and together they sang. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Sing Along! 🎤🎶🎤
The Story Monster Theme Song
Lyrics by Conrad J. Storad
Guess who’s watching now?
Guess who’s listening now?
Who’s reading now?
Who’s learning now?
It’s the Story Monster!
Yes, the Story Monster!
The Story Monster’s learning now,
The Story Monster!
Guess who loves lots of books?
Who loves to read?
Who loves to learn,
And loves to achieve?
It’s the Story Monster!
Yes, the Story Monster!
The Story Monster’s reading now,
The Story Monster!
Who’s the Story Monster?
I’m the Story Monster!
You’re the Story Monster!
We’re all Story Monsters!
We are all reading now!
Cause we’re all learning…NOW!

GATOR GATOR SECOND GRADER (CLASSROOM PET ... OR NOT?) by Conrad J. Storad, illustrated by Alex Lopez, has been officially selected for the Paris Film Awards. www.StoryMonsters.com
GATOR GATOR SECOND GRADER (CLASSROOM PET ... OR NOT?)
By Conrad J. Storad, Illustrated by Alex Lopez
Many creatures make great classroom pets, but others just DO NOT! That's what the teacher says, anyway! When second graders Benny and Jacob bring a baby alligator to school in a cardboard box, their teacher, Mrs. Nichols, has an important message to share. A baby gator is NOT a good classroom pet! she explains. As an impromptu pet safari unfolds, Mrs. Nichols helps her students identify which creatures are suitable for school and which animals are better housed elsewhere! Her last-minute lesson soon leads to an exuberant naming game, with students clamoring to compare turtles with Gila monsters, hamsters with grizzly bears, and much more.
Following the story, a well-researched curriculum guide captivates young readers, helping them develop a deeper respect for nature. Narrated by a beloved classroom pet nicknamed Snoozer, Gator, Gator, Second Grader cleverly draws young readers into the story from word one (Howdy!), making them feel like part of Mrs. Nichol's lively second grade classroom. As students compare and contrast a wide variety of animals, they quickly learn to recognize which creatures make good pets and which creatures do best in the zoo or in their natural habitats.
WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING …
“Gator, Gator, Second Grader is a wonderful introduction to the world of animals and classroom pets for students. The book, while creative, captivating, and funny, is also very educational and provides a realistic look at what kind of animals belong in the classroom, while also teaching facts about them. The book will be an excellent tool for teachers to use in conjunction with a classroom pet. We are proud to list it on our website as one of the resources we recommend to teachers who apply for our educational grant program that supports classroom pets.”
—Steve King, Executive Director, The Pet Care Trust/Pets in the Classroom
