Product Description:
Six million-- a number impossible to visualize. Six million Jews were killed in Europe between the years 1933 and 1945. What can that number mean to us today? We can that number mean to us today? We are told never to forget the Holocaust, but how can we remember something so incomprehensible?
We can think, not of the numbers, the statistics, but of the people. For the families torn apart, watching mothers, fathers, children disappear or be slaughtered, the numbers were agonizingly comprehensible. One. Two. Three. Often more. Here are the stories of thode people, recorded in letters and diaries, and in the memories of those who survived. Seen through their eyes, the horror becomes real. We cannot deny it--and we can never forget.

Now that youngsters are acquainted with the horrors of slavery, they are more prepared to consider the questions the Holocaust raises for us today.' —Language Arts.`[An] extraordinarily fine and moving book.' —NYT.

This is a true story of hate and ignorance, prejudice and misery that cost many millions of lives. Within a period of seven years six million Jews were starved to death, shot or gassed. It is a fearful and inhuman story--mostly heart-breaking, but with inspiring accounts, too, from the survivors and of the dead, of bravery and resistance. You'll never forget the Jews of the holocaust. (Suitable for junior high and up.)

Meltzer writes the story of the Holocaust from an interesting viewpoint. Becuse he is a young 15 year old American Jew, watching the events of the war from afar, he brings a passion to the delivery of the historical information that makes it more engaging and powerful. The organization of the book into chapters according to chronology makes it easy to read as a whole, or a reader can use it to research a particular aspect of the Holocaust. As a teacher of middle schoolers, books that are so accessible ... Read More
