Uri Orlev
|
Award-winning Israeli author, Uri Orlev, was born Jerzy Henryk Orlowski
in Warsaw, Poland. As a small child,
he survived the war years in the ghetto in Poland
and eventually made his way to Israel. His books are often autobiographical.
The jury members
of the Hans Christian Andersen Author Award, which was
awarded to Orlev in 1996, said:
"Uri Orlev's experience as a Jewish boy in war-torn Poland is the
background of this outstanding writer for children. Whether his stories are
set in the Warsaw ghetto or his new country Israel, he never loses the
perspective of the child he was. He writes at a high literary level, with
integrity and humor, in a way which is
never sentimental, exhibiting the skill to say
much in few words. Uri Orlev shows how children can survive without
bitterness in harsh and terrible times."
The Island on Bird Street is an autobiographical work of Orlev's
years in the Warsaw Ghetto where he learned how to survive
under life threatening conditions.
