Description:
A Child's recollections of the Holocaust.
Published by Yad Vashem, the Museum of the Holocaust in Israel, this is the story of Hannah, who grew up in Poland in the 1930s, and her experiences through WW2 and up to 1949 when she arrived in Israel. Aimed at primary-age children, this is an excellent starter to studies of the Holocaust, and could be used with pupils of all ages up to and including A Level.
Simply told, this book raises all kinds of issues of interpretations, of knowledge, of being a bystander, rescuer or perpetrator, and also works on the level of a simple story simply told.
