Make Way for Animals! A World of Wildlife Crossings by Meeg Pincus illustrated by Bao Luu Review posted September 6, 2022. Millbrook Press, 2022. 32 pages. Review written July 4, 2022, from a library book.

Gisel­la Perl was an extra­or­di­nary woman. She was a trail­blaz­ing physi­cian and infer­til­i­ty researcher; a wife, a moth­er, a Jew, and a pris­on­er of the Nazis in the 1940s. Her mem­oir, I Was a Doc­tor in Auschwitz, was first pub­lished in 1948 (and re-released by Lex­ing­ton Press in 2019) and offers a heart­break­ing but impor­tant record of life in the death camps.
