We Remember the Holocaust
We Remember the Holocaust chronicles the Holocaust in the voices of those who survived it. They tell us about Jewish life in Europe before the 1930s and about the violence of Hitler's rise to power. They describe the humiliations of Nazi rule, the struggle to keep families together, the fight for survival in the ghettos, the ultimate horror of the concentration camps.

In this book several people recall their experiences in the holocaust. The book starts with the formation of the Nazi Party. As Hitler began to rise to power, Jewish citizens of Germany tried to run, but were caught illegally entering France and were sent back. It continues to tell of how the Jewish people started being discriminated against. They were forced to make themselves as Jews by wearing a six point star. Soon Hitler began to send soldiers into surrounding countries to claim them for Ge...more
David A. Adler, son of a Jewish woman who escaped to America (via many other nations) just as the war started, began this book as a way to make the Holocaust more real for his children. The end product is a book full of information and pictures, a creation meant to be an introduction.
I enjoyed this book as the people Adler interviewed were children or teens at the time of the war. The stories the tell, from their perspective as young people, will make that time a bit easier t...more

This deserves more than 3 stars but I really can't bring myself to click that fourth one. So lets go with a 3.5 for me.
There is a lot of valuable information here, as with any non-fiction book about the Holocaust. But this one does things a little better than the others I've seen for the target audience. For example, and this is a relatively small matter but it's something that annoyed me greatly when I started reading more about the subject, this book translates what the German signs and...more

the holocaust was a sad think that happen to many jewels in Europe but the word was nerve being told how thinks did happen to jewels in the concentration camp! well. we remember the holocaust had show me how not only jewels had but the word suffer with Hitler action! some parts were to sad to read and i am sure some people cried reading this book! i think the worse thing i read here was how did they get away with the body's and public humiliation
This book was perfect for my purposes -- I had a lot of basic questions and this book pretty much answered all of them (except for the big question, which I hope can never be answered/understood: How could this have happened?). It's a very easy read, and about half fact, half survivor memories--really a perfect mix. Lots of pictures throughout and a time line at the end. I will definitely be using this in the classroom!
This book was very sad but interesting. I learned that Hitler did experiments on the Jews. There were a lot of things that were disgusting and it made me cry in class. Pictures of all of the dead people and how strong the Nazi organization was and how it could keep on going. I learned that hatred is a bad thing and we should never let that happen again.

This is such an excellent resource for teachers who a) have students conduct research on the holocaust, b) needs supplements when they teach with The Diary of Anne of Frank.
I read this for my project and it gave me tons of info!!!!
Real people. Real memories. Really happened.
I remember when I first learned what the Holocaust was. For a fifth grader, thats pretty serious, depressing stuff. I was fascinated of course and this book does a good job of illustrating various survivor's horrors in concentration camps. The fact that all the stories were true made it all that much more horrible and fascinating. One thing that set this apart from other holocaust books were the photographs that went along with the characters.
This book is meant to be a child's introduction to the Holocaust. Still, I learned quite a lot, especially the bit about the leaders of other nations not getting involved when they could have. I checked it out for my 7-year-old, but I don't think she's quite ready for it yet. Just a couple of graphic photos.
Written for a younger generation, this is a surprisingly graphic and thorough account of the Holocaust using eyewitness quotes. I found it more moving and poignant than some other collections designed for adult readers.
