In The Devil's Arithmetic (1988), a book intended for younger readers, the Jewish girl Hannah opens the door in the course of a Seder ceremony and finds she has time-traveled to Poland in 1942. She has a new name, Chaya, which means "life," and is a niece about to celebrate her uncle's marriage. Very shortly the Nazis come to take the family away. Hannah manages to return to the present, much wiser about the need to remember and honor her Jewish identity.
