4.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, accesible history for young adults!, April 26, 2000

This review is from: Never to Forget: The Jews of the Holocaust (Paperback)

Meltzer writes the story of the Holocaust from an interesting viewpoint. Becuse he is a young 15 year old American Jew, watching the events of the war from afar, he brings a passion to the delivery of the historical information that makes it more engaging and powerful. The organization of the book into chapters according to chronology makes it easy to read as a whole, or a reader can use it to research a particular aspect of the Holocaust. As a teacher of middle schoolers, books that are so accessible and interesting are hard to find. I would recommend any reader interested in the subject to start here- you won't find much better!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Holocaust, January 17, 2012

This review is from: Never to Forget: The Jews of the Holocaust (Paperback)

I had heard of the Holocaust growing up, but it wasn't until the latter 1970's that I developed a real interest in it. The first book I ever read on the subject was this one and to this day is the standard I hold other books on the subject to. It's heartbreaking, but a page turner at the same time. This is hard to putdown and once finished, hard to forget. Highly recommended!!

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU Will Never Forget, March 4, 2007

By 

James Charnock (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Never to Forget: The Jews of the Holocaust (Paperback)

This is a true story of hate and ignorance, prejudice and misery that cost many millions of lives. Within a period of seven years six million Jews were starved to death, shot or gassed. It is a fearful and inhuman story--mostly heart-breaking, but with inspiring accounts, too, from the survivors and of the dead, of bravery and resistance. You'll never forget the Jews of the holocaust. (Suitable for junior high and up.)
