From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-7-- Resnick recounts Hitler's rise to power, the beginnings of terrorism and oppression of the Jews, ghetto life including several specific rebellions, the internment in various concentration camps including medical experimentation and mass executions of the Jews, and their liberation at the end of the war. He concludes with a description of the establishment of the state of Israel and "lessons to recall," which offers some philosophical and moral judgements. Basic information is provided about the beginnings of the growth of Nazism in Germany including the Nuremberg laws and Kristallnacht. Good-quality black-and-white photographs from various archival collections reinforce concepts and add poignancy to the text, as do the numerous first-person quotations. The writing style is simple and straightforward; there is unfortunately an occasional tendency to fictionalize, attribute motivation, or label. The scope and and focus here is similar to Miriam Chaikin's A Nightmare in History (Clarion, 1987). A list of Holocaust organizations to contact for further information is appended. --Susan Kaminow, Arlington County Public Library, VA
