Benno and the Night of Broken Glass. Avaialable in Soft Cover and Hard Cover. By Meg Wiviott, illustrated by Josee Bisaillion. Named a School Library Journal Best Book of 2010. Benno was the neighborhood’s favorite cat. During the week, he napped in a sunny corner of Mitzi Stein’s dress shop, and begged scraps from Moshe the Butcher. He spent Shabbat evenings with Sophie Adler’s family in Apartment 3B. But one night the Nazis came to Berlin. Windows were shattered, books were burned, and Benno’s Jewish friends disappeared. Life would never be the same.
