Heart wrenching - must read -:
This book is one that is hard to put down. It is not the usual book about the Holocaust. The presentation is beautiful and easy to read. The photos speak loudly. Reading the words of the people that suffered this horror makes you remember these were not just a people, they each were individuals with lives such as ours that were ripped apart. An absolute must read. I believe every school should have and read this book. Wonderful book by Wood, Stone and Steven Spielberg.
Well Done:
My daughter loved this book. Once she picked it up she never put it down until she had read the entire thing from cover to cover. If you know anyone with a keen interest in this subject, I highly recommend this book as an addition to their collection on the subject of the Holocaust. It makes a thoughtful gift as well, due to the quality of the binding and the layout of the cover.
Holocaust:
Really great book for teaching the Holocaust. I bought this book to add to my Holocaust unit that I teach inthe Spring. It has great information, written so intermediate kids can understand. The pictures are also great.
