In 1580, in Prague, the Jews were segregated to a Ghetto. Lies were being spread about their Passover ceremonies, so people despised them. The chief rabbi, Judah Loew ben Bezalel, creates Golem to help protect the Jews. When Golem fulfills his purpose, he will return to the earth.
Quickly the reader will sympathize with Golem and be heart broken when he must die.
After reading Sweep A Story of a Girl and Her Monster by Jonathan Auxier, I was curious about this Jewish creature. Mr. Auxier recommended this specific book.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
Warning: The Golem dies, crumbling to the earth. May be really sad to sensitive readers.
