Kinderlager: An Oral History of Young Holocaust… by Milton J. Nieuwsma

This one is one of the best choices for those 10 to 14.
"At the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, the Nazis created a special section for children called the Kinderlager. Three young acquaintances from the town of Tomaszow Mazowiecki ended up together in the Kinderlager and managed to struggle through and survive that terrible place.

It is a story filled with horror and unspeakable tragedy-- but also one of remarkable courage and hope." From the front cover flap.… (more)
