I recently read this book for my Honors Junior class. I find that it, like Night by Elie Wiesel, is an easy read. Yet I would not recommend either of the two for anything younger than mature pre-teens. It's not terribly graphic, but it can be understood at a much deeper level by older teens. All in all it was a great book which helped me to better understand what took place during the Holocaust and how it affective people who lived during it.

My name is Eric leonard and am in the eighth grade and chose this book for a holocost report. this book is full of holocost poems and stories. I found many of the holocost stories touching. I would recomend this book to young adults that need to be informed about this terible time in history. I enjoyed this this book and would read it again.

I purchased this book in order to prepare my 7 year old son for a visit to the Holocaust Museum in D.C.

In the book you will find poignant poems and stories written by survivors of the Holocaust written in a way that can be beneficial to both children and adults.

I recommend the book, but I would not agree with the age bracket of 4-7. I think some of the material can be presented to a child of 6 or 7 by a parent who can help explain it, but in my opinion, this book would be better suited for a child of at least 11 or 12 years old.
