255 pgs. Includes dust jacket. Black & white photos. No highlighting or underlining. "In Amsterdam, Star City, there is Star House, the detention center in which the children and their elders are herded. Westerbork, the transit camp to which they are shipped, becomes Star Desert and at the end of the railway line, Star Hall - Bergen-Belsen. It is in this world of death and despair that the star children make their way. At the end, there are only a handful left to tear off their stars, from among 'crowds of star children who did not live long and happily, whose stars were torn off by God himself and placed among the other stars in the heavens, as eternal evidence.".

Synopsis

Book by Edelstein, Terese

Reviews

Star Children. Children with the yellow Jewish star. Asscher-Pinkhof, a Dutch teacher, novelist, and Jew who taught at the special schools that were set up for Jewish children during the War, tells in these brief fictive vignettes the storiestragic, brave, heroic, selfish, cruel, innocentof the young Dutch victims of the Holocaust whose childhoods were spent in detention centers, in transit camps, and finally in "Star Hells" like Bergen-Belsen, with only a few surviving to liberation. The stories are narrated as though seen through the children's own eyes, reflecting the stark, spare horror of their vision. Published in Holland in 1946 and just translated into English, this powerful document is worthy to stand beside Anne Frank's Diary . Highly recommended for general collections. Marcia G. Fuchs, Guilford Free Lib., Ct.
