Book Review of Heroes of the Holocaust: True Stories of Rescues by Teens

Heroes of the Holocaust: True Stories of Rescues by Teens
Shervivor avatar reviewed on + 97 more book reviews


This was an interesting group of Holocaust survivor stories based on the experiences of teenagers during WWII. All of the stories are somehow related to either the teenager or someone in their family receiving the award for being Righteous among the Nations from the State of Israel. Each story was set in a different country: France, Belgium, Poland and Denmark and there was a good mix of different types of rescues. I learned some aspects of the Holocaust that I had not known before. I would recommend this book to young teens and to adults that are interested in knowing more about that sad time in history.
