This is an automatically translated description

This book contains three works by Itskhokas Meras: his debut autobiographical novel in short stories, The Yellow Patch, a children's novel, Light Among the Ruins, and a ballad novel, What the World Holds On To.

In the first two works, the main characters are children, Jewish and Lithuanian, who live in war, go through incredible trials and escape as best they can. And at the same time, they admire beauty, think about the eternal, and care about others.

In the ballad novel, the main character is a mother who gives up her own son for upbringing and then loses him, but instead saves, feeds and raises three other people's children, different in nationality. For her, there are no other people's children, and the child of an enemy is not an enemy. Her love is enough for everyone - and even for the world in which unimaginable things are happening.
