Maurice Bernard Sendak, a celebrated American illustrator and writer of children's literature, came into this world on June 10, 1928, to a family with a rich heritage of Polish-Jewish descent. His early life was forever scarred by the tragic loss of numerous family members during the Holocaust, a harrowing experience that would later profoundly impact his creative work.
