What Was the Holocaust?

A thoughtful and age-appropriate introduction to an unimaginable event--the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a genocide on a scale never before seen, with as many as twelve million people killed in Nazi death camps--six million of them Jews. Gail Herman traces the rise of Hitler and the Nazis, whose rabid anti-Semitism led first to humiliating anti-Jewish laws, then to ghettos all over Eastern Europe, and ultimately to the Final Solution. She presents just enough information for an elementary-school audience in a readable, well-researched book that covers one of the most horrible times in history. This entry in the New York Times best-selling series contains eighty carefully chosen illustrations and sixteen pages of black and white photographs suitable for young readers.Author: Gail Herman, Who HqPublisher: Penguin WorkshopPublished: 06/19/2018Pages: 112Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.30lbsSize: 7.50h x 5.20w x 0.30dISBN: 9780451533906Audience: Ages 9-12Accelerated Reader:Reading Level: 5.2Point Value: 1Interest Level: Middle GradeQuiz #/Name: 195951 / What Was the Holocaust?About the AuthorGail Herman has written several young biographies for children, including Who Was Jackie Robinson?
