I Am a Star by Inge Auerbacher
The book is about Inga Auerbacher's childhood was a happy and peaceful just as any other German child---Until 1942. By then, the Nazis were in power and she and her parents were rounded up and sent to a concentration camp. They defied death for three years until they were freed. This story allows the youngest reader to understand the Holocaust.
Reading a book is one thing but visiting the actual site is a lot more painful than just reading about it. But those who went through it experienced the real pain.
This book can be used for readers in grades 3-6
I love these historical non fiction stories...Im going to have to go pick this one up, the only one that I was familiar with for children was Anne Frank...Thanks
ReplyDeleteThese type of books are heart wrenching, how can humans be so cruel to one another and bring down other people just because of the diffrences I need to read this book thanks
