Review:

In simple moving words, The Holocaust: A History Of Courage And Resistance tells the story of the destruction of six million Jews during World War II. Beginning in the 1930s, The Holocaust describes the conditions in Germany that led to Hitler's rise to power and the Nazi policy of destruction. But at the heart of The Holocaust are the acts of courage and resistance, the stories of the men and women (young and old, Jewish and Gentile) who fought against Hitler and the Nazis and kept the spirit of heritage of the Jews alive in this devastating period. The Holocaust is an especially ideal introduction for young readers to a difficult subject, a tragic time, and the heroism that emerged from the ashes of despair. --Midwest Book Review
