Page 6 - Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen

To my Yoleri grandparents, who brought
their family over in the early 1900s, second
class, not steerage, and to my Berlin grand-
parents, who came over close to that same
time and settled in Virginia. We were the
lucky ones. This book is a memorial for
those who were not.

And for my daughter, Heidi Elisabet Stem-
pie, whose Hebrew name is Chaya—pro-
nounced with the guttural ch as HT-y&—
which means life.

And with special thanks to Barbara Goldin
and Deborah Brodie, who were able to ask
questions of survivors that I was unable to
ask and pass those devastating answers dn to me.
