Review
There have been many books published in the last decade on this subject, the inhumane treatment of Jews during the Second World War, but readers, don't dismiss this title. 3 out of 4 stars. (CM Magazine )
An insightful, educational and deeply moving work of historical fiction guaranteed to impact readers of all ages. (Canadian Jewish News )
Kathy Kacer is a fabulous writer who paints a picture in your mind. Through her writing she expresses so much depth and passion that you feel that you are watching things being acted out. The Secret of Gabi's Dresser rightfully earns five stars! (Darcy, Age 12 )
