What was the Holocaust?  Cover Image Book Book

What was the Holocaust? / by Gail Herman ; illustrated by Jerry Hoare.

Herman, Gail, 1959- (author.). Hoare, Jerry, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"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 events in history. Includes a letter from the editor and series creator, Jane O'Connor" -- Provided by publisher.
