The Harmonica

The book is by Tony Johnston, illustrated by Ron Mazellan. A boy who lives in Poland is very poor. His dad worked in the mines and one day came home with a harmonica. He and his mother and father loved music. They played all night until one night the German Nazis found them and split them apart. The boy went to one concentration camp and his parents to another. The hope of surviving stays alive because the boy plays Schubert on his harmonica all night.
