Chana Byers Abells

"Through moving photographs from the Yad Vashem Archives in Jerusalem, Israel, archivist Chana Byers Abells has created an unforgettable essay about the children who lived and died during the Holocaust. And while it is a story of death and loss, it is also a story of courage and endurance. It is a story that must be told to all of today's children."

A beautiful book of photographs of Jewish children before and during the Holocaust. The text is written for young children. It's very sad. While I think that children need to be exposed the the reality of the Holocaust and other atrocities, I'd be hesitant to read this book to a young child unless Holocaust remembrance was already part of their life. An older child, however, might be interested.

Very few words but extremely moving pictures. Very effective for talking about the inhumanities experienced during WWII.

This book was very sad, and it made the story of the holocaust even more real, if possible. It was nice to put faces to all of the stories heard about this time in history.
