The Harmonica by Tony Johnston


In Language Arts class this week we are reading "The Harmonica". The story is based on a true story about a resilient young Jewish boy.  When the Nazis invade Poland, his family is split apart.  His parents are sent to one concentration camp, he to another.  Only his father's gift, a harmonica, keeps the boy's hope alive and, miraculously, ensures his survival.

Follow this link to "The Harmonica" worksheet that is due in class on Friday, Dec. 2nd.

Follow this link to listen to Schubert's Ave Maria in violin.  Schubert's music is featured in the story.
