Based in part on the true story of WWII medic Anthony C. Acevedo, the first Mexican American to register as a Holcaust survivor, The Number on My Father's Arm, tells the remarkable story a son's quest to learn where the number on his father's arm came from.

School Library Journal Starred Review:
"Alvarado compares the evils of war and oppression, and how they manifest in current times. This powerful novel is a great reminder for mature readers that there is much to American culture that gets left unsaid and erased."
