By the Hanukkah Light by Sheldon Oberman, Neil Waldman (Illustrator)

A story within a story in By the Hanukkah Light, a grandfather tells the story of Hanukkah and the victory of the Maccabees over the Syrians. He also shares his own experience of hiding as a Jew during World War II. Grandfather compares his battle to the battle of the Maccabees. Both were fighting their oppressors and both recognize a miracle. Granddaughter Rachel promises to tell the stories to her children, thus passing on the tradition of Hanukkah. Endnotes in the book provide information on the history and current traditions of Hanukkah.
