I feel I owe it to Dr. Fisch to write a review about this AMAZING book considering that only one person has. I saw Dr. Fisch speak last spring. He presented his book and talked not only about his experience in concentration camps, but also, and more importantly, about what we can learn from his experience.

This book offers more than just words. Dr. Fisch has included his own art work, which would do justice without the words. Although the book is formatted like a childrens book, it is appropriate for all ages. Out of all the books and accounts I have read about the Holocaust, I found "Light from the Yellow Star" to be the most beneficial and moving. I strongly reccommend that every social studies and history teacher have this book in their classroom.

Robert Fisch completes his entire history in the concentration camps in a very thin book. With beautiful pictures and heartfelt words, it becomes easy to see into this man's past and be both shocked and enlightened to what really happened behind those walls.
