Star Children. Children with the yellow Jewish star. Asscher-Pinkhof, a Dutch teacher, novelist, and Jew who taught at the special schools that were set up for Jewish children during the War, tells in these brief fictive vignettes the storiestragic, brave, heroic, selfish, cruel, innocentof the young Dutch victims of the Holocaust whose childhoods were spent in detention centers, in transit camps, and finally in "Star Hells" like Bergen-Belsen, with only a few surviving to liberation. The stories are narrated as though seen through the children's own eyes, reflecting the stark, spare horror of their vision. Published in Holland in 1946 and just translated into English, this powerful document is worthy to stand beside Anne Frank's Diary . Highly recommended for general collections. Marcia G.
