Survivors: True Stories of Children in the Holocaust Paperback – March 1, 2005

I was a bit hesitant to buy this book. I kept thinking to myself what could kids possibly say about the Holocaust? Well they said a lot. Every story brought a tear to my eye because they went through hell. This book is so endearing and truthful and you can't put it down once you start reading it. What these poor children went through is beyond my scope of imagination. I'm so glad they all made it to live normal lives the best they could. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the Holocaust.

Grim but heartwarming stories of holocaust survivors which tell the horrific story but in allowing you to understand their plight, determination and strength you see hope while remembering the horrendous Nazi holocaust. Everyone should read this book! We must never forget.

Ever since General Eisenhauer came upon the "Death Camp" in Germany, I have been very interested in reading anything and everything about the holocaust. However, "Survivors" was a book about "children", which made me all the more anxious to read it. After reading a review about this book in our local paper, I knew I "had to get it"! As in the past, I knew if the book is on the market, Amazon would have it. Thanks to their great and prompt service, it arrived in four days!I thought I'd "just look through it for now"! Instead,I found myself "letting everything else go", as I sat there mesmerized by the tales written by adults who had lived through the Holocaust as children. I finished reading this book that very same day!I can't begin to tell you how the terror and horrific tales tugged at my heart! It made me also think of the many children who did NOT survive to tell their stories. May this never happen again!It is always a pleasure to "read a good book", but one's feelings differ when the writings are not fiction but true stories, as this book was! It captivates you as soon as you glance at the picture of the precious little girl on the cover!I highly recommend this book to other readers! We must never forget what the Hitler regime did to those poor people! This book reveals the horror in the small, precious children's hearts and minds.Harriet Pilson

It was factual and had substantial information. Would be a great research/informational read for school age children

Great Item, strongly recomend

Was a Gift but came in NEW condition in a well packed shipping container

Our Middle schoolers read these as a class. The short story format was great for struggling readers.

Required reading for those wanting to know the real experience of the holocaust from the pens of grown children.Although I purchased Allan Zullo and Mara Bovsun's book to use as research on a book I was writing ,it not only served that purpose. I was swept up into the horror of genocide. An abomination! Each narrative expressed gratitude for surviving, but I couldn't help getting angry for each one all over again. Just to know that a selected group of individuals was being subdued by the maniacal and pitiful ruler responsible for minimizing the human being!It extended the heart in me that just couldn't fathom someone doing something this big in the most dispicable way possible. I was swept up in Luncia Gamzer's story and others who gave their take on what it meant to hide from life itself. The stories are presented in a way that children now could understand, even the graphic details of their sacrifices-appropriately.Inspiring, and desperately amazing in its approach!
