A Wool Bear Cub tells its story, from Nazi-occupied Holland to the US to Israel. Fred Lessing, its owner, is a hidden child. He never separated from the teddy bear, his best friend and confidant, even after the war. Many years later, it is at Yad Vashem where he is exhibited that the author falls under the charm of this bear cub.
