Summary: good introduction of holocaust to young students
Review: While this book is rather short in text, it provides riviting photos and is an excellent first step in introducing the holocaust to teenage students. It points out the horrors of the time by retelling the stories of those who were teenagers during the holocaust. This is an excellent way to relate to todays teenagers, and let them absorb the realities of one of the darkest periods in our planets history.

I would recommend giving this book to every 15 year old for this weekend's homework reading assignment.
