When I'm with him, nothing bad can happen to me."This excerpt expresses how seven-year-old Ichu feels, as his family is expelled by the Nazis from their village in Poland, and exiled across the Russian border, where their unbelievable journey through the Soviet Union begins.How to Hunt a Bear is a historical novel that follows the life of a Jewish family from 1939, just as the Nazis enter their village, and changes the fate of its residents forever.The Hauzer family's story is told from three perspectives: Eighty-seven years old Itzhak, who lives in a nursing home in Jerusalem, who seeks to document his family story; young Itzhak (Ichu), who is seven years old at the beginning of the war; and Maya, a family history genealogist, whose life is forever altered by the gripping story of the Hauzer family.
