Description
"A thoughtful and age-appropriate introduction to an unimaginable event--the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a genocide on a scale never before seen, with as many as twelve million people killed in Nazi death camps--six million of them Jews. Gail Herman traces the rise of Hitler and the Nazis, whose rabid anti-Semitism led first to humiliating anti-Jewish laws, then to ghettos all over Eastern Europe, and ultimately to the Final Solution. She presents just enough information for an elementary-school audience in a readable, well-researched book that covers one of the most horrible events in history. Includes a letter from the editor and series creator, Jane O'Connor"--

This is an excellent introduction for young readers to a topic many adults are uncomfortable with even when talking among themselves. Herman is able to present a good overview of the Holocaust without minimalizing it for elementary age children.

I have been impressed with this series for young readers (and for adults who do not read English well) from the first book I read (George Washington) and highly recommend it. I would give this seven stars if it was possible.

Very well done, and a good audio book too. It's a very intense book, and I appreciated the forward that recommends kids turn to adults for discussion and support after reading it.
