A young readers edition of the bestselling book from Auschwitz
survivor Hédi Fried that answers questions about the Holocaust with
sensitivity and candor.
"Something like what Anne Frank might have written had she survived ...
Timeless lessons taught with simple eloquence." Kirkus Reviews
Hédi Fried was nineteen when the Nazis arrested her family and
transported them to Auschwitz, where her parents were murdered and she
and her sister were forced into hard labor. Now ninety-nine, she has
devoted her life to educating young people about the Holocaust and
answering their questions. This new edition of her bestselling book is
perfect for readers aged 10-17. This is a deeply human book for people
of all ages that urges us never to forget and never to repeat.
- The perfect conversation starter for educators to teach young people
about the reality of the Holocaust from lived experience.
- Wonderful companion piece to Art Speigelman's Maus.
- In the wake of recent reports that a shocking proportion of young
people in the US know little to nothing about the Holocaust, alongside
a concerning new wave of antisemitism in the US and Europe, this
deeply personal first-hand account is especially timely.
