Children in the Holocaust and World War II is an extraordinary unprecedented anthology of diaries written by children all across Nazi-occupied Europe and in England.Twenty-three young people ages ten through eighteen recount in vivid detail the horrors they lived through. As powerful as The Diary of Anne Frank and Zlata s Diary children s experiences are written with an unguarded eloquence that belies their years. Some of the diarists include: a Hungarian girl selected by Mengele to be put in a line of prisoners who were tortured and murdered; a Danish Christian boy executed by the Nazis for his partisan work; and a twelve-year-old Dutch boy who lived through the Blitzkrieg in Rotterdam. And many others. These heartbreaking stories paint a harrowing picture of a genocide that will never be forgotten and a war that shaped many generations to follow. All of their voices and visions ennoble us all.
