Welcome to
the world of
David and Max...

Where teachers and students come together to study, discuss and reflect on the lessons of the Holocaust.

DAVID AND MAX - THE NOVEL

David and Max is the touching and thought-provoking story of twelve-year-old David, a short-but-passionate basketball player, and his grandfather, Max, a Holocaust survivor.

When it was first published by the Jewish Publication Society in 1988, David and Max became an instant classic, a National Jewish Book Award Finalist, and Notable Children’s Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies. The Jewish Publication Society, founded in 1888, reissued David and Max in 2006, and this updated edition has been recognized for promoting cooperation, nonviolence, respect for differing viewpoints, and close relationships in human societies, winning a 2007 Skipping Stones Honor Award in the category of Multicultural & International Awareness.
