In the fall of 1939, ten-year-old Juanita Wagner of Danville, Iowa, picked a name from a list of pen pals provided by her teacher. She chose a girl her own age who lived in Amsterdam. The girl's name was Anne Frank. Through firsthand reports and interviews with Juanita's sister, Betty, friends of both Juanita and Anne Frank, as well as never-before-published photographs, Susan Goldman Rubin weaves the story of two girls -- one in America and one in the Netherlands -- against the backdrop of pending World War II, its brutal reality, and its aftermath. In alternating chapters, Goldman Rubin describes the lives of Juanita and Anne before the war begins, then continues to tell their stories, as well as those of their sisters, Betty and Margot, as the war progresses. Juanita, Betty, and their mother witness the war from afar, aware of its presence only through radio, film clips, rationing, and watching schoolmates and friends leave for armed service. In tragic contrast, Anne, Margot, and their parents go into hiding, are discovered, and are sent to concentration camps. Only Anne's father survives. Although the girls only had the opportunity to correspond briefly, their letters and contrasting experiences offer a poignant and timely look at lives during wartime. The existing correspondence between Anne and Margot Frank and their pen pals in Iowa is on permanent display at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, California.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1422833</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C1422833</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rubin, Susan Goldman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2003 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1422833133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Letters From Amsterdam to Iowa</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780810945142/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dragonflies of Glass]]></title><description><![CDATA["In the mid-nineteenth century, most women who weren't raising families became teachers or nurses. But Clara Driscoll longed to be an artist, drawing inspiration from nature: from every flower, weed, dragonfly, and even cobweb on her family's farm. After moving to New York City in 1888, Clara was hired at the renowned Tiffany Glass Company, where Mr. Louis Comfort Tiffany was known for creating gorgeous stained-glass windows for churches, theaters, and libraries. Impressed by her talent at choosing and cutting glass, Mr. Tiffany eventually put Clara in charge of her own staff of thirty-five women designers. These "Tiffany Girls" sketched intricate patterns, chose dazzling colors and precise shapes, and carefully soldered and placed each piece of glass to create stunning lamps, murals, windows, vases, and clocks. Yet their names weren't always credited on the finished pieces, and when Clara designed the "Wisteria" lamp that would become Tiffany Studios' most famous, everyone assumed that Mr. Tiffany had designed it. Today, Clara Driscoll 's work lives on in museums, galleries, and private collections around the world, including hundreds of pieces housed by The Metropolitan Museum of Art."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3427212</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3427212</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rubin, Susan Goldman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3427212133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Story of Clara Driscoll and the Tiffany Girls</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781419754364/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sing and Shout]]></title><description><![CDATA[This comprehensive biography explores the tumultuous and passionate life of activist, singer, and actor Paul Robeson. When faced with the decision to remain silent or be ostracized, Paul Robeson chose to sing, shout, and speak out. Sing and Shout: The Mighty Voice of Paul Robeson explores how Robeson's love of African American spirituals and deep empathy towards the suffering of others drove his long, fervent mission as a civil rights activist and his career as an artist. Although he was also an actor, singing was Robeson's defining talent and where he could best express himself. After exploring socialism, Robeson was targeted by the U.S. government for speaking out about discrimination against African Americans and for his political views. He was labeled a communist during the height of the Cold War and found himself stripped of his U.S. passport. But Robeson never gave in and continued to perform and speak out. The book is based on author Susan Goldman Rubin's extensive research, including fieldwork in Harlem, NY, in Princeton and Somerville, NJ, and at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, NJ. Includes an author's note, resources, source notes, index, and a preface by author Harry Belafonte.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3387344</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3387344</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rubin, Susan Goldman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3387344133</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>The Mighty Voice of Paul Robeson</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798889560883/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Women Who Built Hollywood]]></title><description><![CDATA[Twelve diverse actors, directors, writers, editors, designers, and producers fought against sexism, racism and prejudice to have their voices heard and changed the industry forever.]]></description><link>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3262264</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S133C3262264</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rubin, Susan Goldman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2023 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://skokielibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3262264133</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>12 Trailblazers in Front of and Behind the Camera</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781662680106/MC.GIF&amp;client=skopl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Madame Alexander]]></title><description><![CDATA[Beatrice Alexander's family ran a doll hospital in their home in New York's Lower East Side, where she grew to love fixing and making dolls.
