i think this book in a great book to read about the holocaust because it talks about how and when it started. i would read this book again because it contains so much interesting information in this book. the author was trying to get across why it happened and tried to explain it in shorter terms and tells them what happened during the holocaust. this book was so informational and i wouldn't change anything about this book.

This is a great book to use to introduce middle school students to the holocaust. The authors give an overview of events leading up to Hitler's rein in Germany and later across Europe. I also enjoyed this book because it talked about how many Jewish people escaped concentration camps and the Nazi control. It explains different people who helped Jews and other people that were effected by Hitlers brutal tactics. Pictures were also provided, a glossary and other references.
