I am a 6th grade teacher of a multicultural awareness course in NJ. I came across this book last year and it was excellent. The pictures give the whole story in a very simple and powerful manner.
I also found excellent discussion questions in "Memories of the Night: A study of the Holocaust by Anita Meyer Meinbach.
I think Chan Byers "The Children we remember" is a must in the classroom library.

This is a wonderfully touching book that introduces elementary age children to the holocost. The pictures are poignant and draw the children in. The text is simple and thought provoking. Children begin to realize that war affects everyone even the children.

Format: Paperback
This powerful photographic essay of few words describes the lives and tragic deaths of Jewish children in the holocaust and those who survived.
It consists of photos from the archives at Yad Vashem: The Holocaust Martyrs and Rememrance Authority in Jerusalem, Israel.
It shows pictures of these children, many who were murdered, and some who survived during the holocaust, it is both stark and tender.
As Elie Wiesel said of this little book: "Look at these children. Look at their faces. They will break your heart'.
The book begins : "Before the Nazis . . . some children lived in towns like this," showing the children in happier times, going on to their suffering and starvation in the ghettos and in too many cases their evential murder.
Real pictures of real children who lived during those times.
The hope lies in their memories and of the stories of those who survived'
Few words and many pictures, it brings home the tragedy of these times to young readers, in a way that few books can.
I have been to Yad Vashem, and have also seen throughout Israel, many beautiful children, and remembered that children like these were once cruelly murdered in their hundreds of thousands by the Nazis.
Israel must protect her children!

At first glance, this appears like a picture book, filled with photographs of children. Yet the accompanying text, though sparse, conveys to readers the true horrors of many of these photographs. These were Jewish children who prior to WW II led relatively normal lives, happy in their homes, schools, and synagogues. Then came the Nazis, and everything changed. The photographs depict children being forced to leave their homes with their families; placed in cramped quarters in ghettos; starving and exposed to the elements without shoes on their feet; being torn apart from their families;, and, executed by Nazis, who were vitriolic in their hatred of the Jews.

Though the photographs are not many, the images remain with the reader - of what once was, of young lives taken too soon, and luckily some did escape and survive, giving hope for the future. But we need to remember those who have been cruelly taken, and may such horror never be repeated.
