A very engaging and comprehensive study of Jewish children in Nazi Europe, covering pre-World War II days up until post-liberation. The book draws from a wide variety of sources, including many primary sources such as letters, diary entries, photographs, etc., many of which I have never seen before. I highly recommend this and think it ought to have a place in any library's Holocaust collection.
