Book Review of Children in the Holocaust and World War II : Their Secret Diaries

Children in the Holocaust and World War II : Their Secret Diaries
reviewed on + 160 more book reviews


Excerpts from the diaries of 23 children during WWII and the atrocities of the Holocaust. This book is both moving and horrifying. Each excerpt has an introduction which included information about the author- age, nationality, and fate during the war. Some of these are quite varied and unfailingly dramatic. A must-read for anyone who studies the Holocaust. This book is lengthy (over 400 pages) with varying writing styles. One of the most comprehensive anthologies of its type that I've read.
