Mitzvah, an act of Kindness. Repentance, to amend for one's transgressions.

The Fischers, a prominent St. Louis family, take in a German refugee after the conclusion of World War II. The arrival of Magda Zimmerman, a survivor of Hitler's atrocities, exposes deep rifts and grievances within the Fischer household. The family's Christian charity is put to the test as they grapple with the past sins of their patriarch, Cecil Fischer.

Clara Lange, a young widow with a tainted past, offers her services as translator and tutor to the refugee. Inserting herself between Magda and the Fischer family, Clara finds herself traveling down a shadowy path with an uncertain future.

 As we come across books that are described as having Jewish main characters, we add them to this database. The creators of the Jewish Genre Reading Challenge have not read all (or even most) of the books in this database. We have gathered information from many sources and not all may be accurate. Inclusion of a book in our database does not imply endorsement or approval. There is always the possibility that antisemitism may be present in a book, either written into a character's experience or through malicious or ignorant caricature or stereotypical portrayal of Jewish characters and culture. Please take care of yourselves as you read.

Please let us know if you encounter a book in this database that does not have a Jewish main character, if you have corrections or additions for a book's genre categories, or if you have any other concerns about the inclusion of a particular book in this database.
