here are four kids books about the Holocaust, which are available on the
site.
Twenty and Ten, a French boarding school for orphans protects a group of
Jewish children, can they keep the secret.
The Devil's Arithmetic: Sofie, can't understand why her grandparents are so
angry about the War, until while celebrating passover, she is transformed
back to a concentration camp, and learns what the "Devil's Arithmetic" on
her Great Aunt's arm really means.
Katarina A young girl, is forced to hide out during the War, and is very
bored about it, she also develops a love attachment to one of her savors
And my favorite by far:
A Torn Thread
This is probably one of the best books written, at least for children, and
definitely deserves more awards than what it got.
Anna and her sister, are captured and taken to a work camp in Poland, while
there they are forced to work night and day, and survive, with the threat of
gassing, shooting, ans starvation. Is the story of survival, of willing to
do what you had to do t get by.
But I strongly recommend The Torn Thread by Ann Issacs, she is a truly
gifted story teller.

stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
