Working with or without a native speaker, a storyteller can touch the minds and hearts of all listeners—even those with little or no English language skills. Here a group of expert storytellers share a variety of tips and techniques that help bridge the language gap; along with sample stories that librarians, teachers, and professional storytellers can easily incorporate into their repertoires. Four basic techniques for bilingual telling are explored: summarizing, line-by-line translation, tandem telling, and inserted phrases. In addition, contributors discuss such topics as the translator's role, using story in language instruction, presenting tellers of other languages, traveling and giving workshops abroad, and more.

Memoirs of Kaufman, a Jew who was born in 1932 in the town of Herţa in Romania (now Hertsa, Ukraine). Chs. 1-4 (pp. 23-94) relate her experiences of antisemitism as a child, as well as her suffering in the Holocaust. In summer 1941 she, her parents, and her six siblings were sent on a death march to Transnistria, during which many Jews perished from starvation or disease, and many others were killed by their Romanian guards. Some of Kaufman's family members died during the march, and those who remained perished shortly after reaching Transnistria. Kaufman wandered through forests and villages, stealing or begging for food, and then worked for a Ukrainian woman in Mogilev. She was betrayed by Jewish collaborators and sent to the Pechora internment camp, but escaped and returned to Mogilev. In 1943 she was allowed to return to the Dorohoi region, with other orphans. After the war she was sent by UNRRA to Canada, where much later, in 1995, she began to speak to audiences about her experiences.

Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize for Nonfiction — Shortlisted On April 5, 1999, Serbian police found a truck half-submerged in the Danube River. When they looked inside, they found it filled with human bodies. Following orders, they hid the truck and its contents. Two weeks later, on the other side of Serbia, the same thing happened. The full picture would only emerge years later, when the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia investigated and prosecuted the chief architects of the ethnic cleansing of Kosovo. These cases, which formally came to a close in 2014, exposed a secret campaign to hide terrible crimes by transporting and concealing the bodies of the dead. In Tell It to the World, Eliott Behar, a former war crimes prosecutor, tells the true story of what unfolded. He examines the causes and consequences of mass violence, identifying a powerful and disturbing connection between the justice we seek and the injustices we commit.
