It chronicles her friendship with a veteran of the Great War and a Jewish man and his daughter, and what happens to them during the German occupation of the city from 1939 to 1943.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>What inspired you to write this story and\/or these characters?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>I never would have written <em>The Dollmaker of Krak\u00f3w<\/em> if I hadn\u2019t traveled to Poland when I was a teenager. (I\u2019ve been back twice since.) At eighteen, I was struck by the beauty of the city of Krak\u00f3w and shattered by the horror of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. It took me almost a decade to be able to be able to write about those things, though the form it took was quite unexpected&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Everyone says writing is a process. Could you share a little about your writing and\/or research process?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>For better or worse, I am what is known as a \u201cpantser.\u201d I don\u2019t outline my books; I let my characters lead me through the story while I\u2019m writing the first draft. Then I go back and revise, cutting out threads that fizzled out and making sure the plot unfolds in a more coherent way. I draw inspiration from music, art, reading nonfiction, and traveling.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>We know no writer is created in a vacuum. Could you tell the readers about a teacher or a librarian who had an effect on your writing life?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In middle school, most of my teachers were annoyed by how I was more interested in writing fiction than paying attention in class. But my 8th grade English teacher Carrie actively encouraged me to keep writing. During our graduation ceremony, one of the teachers would say a few words about a student they\u2019d grown close to. When my turn came, Carrie told the audience that one day, they would see a book I\u2019d written on the shelf in Barnes and Noble. It meant the world to me. And happily, her prediction has come true!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>What makes your book a good pick for use in a classroom? Is there any particular way you\u2019d like to see teachers use it with young readers\/teens?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a time when hatred and xenophobia are on the rise, I think that it\u2019s valuable to look back at history and see not only how such things can lead to tragedies, but how to actively resist them. <em>The Dollmaker of Krak\u00f3w<\/em> is about doing just that.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to write a book that gave a historically accurate and sensitive depiction of the Holocaust and the German occupation of Poland during the Second World War, and I think that it could be paired with lessons about WWII by teachers and librarians. I even have a series of blog posts containing more historical information paired with photos from my trips to Krak\u00f3w that I plan to put on my website in September. I also wanted to let young readers experience the beautiful and unique city of Krak\u00f3w and give them a window into Polish folklore and mythology, which is fascinating!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>I\u2019m a little dog obsessed here at www.patriciabaileyauthor.com.
