## Description

What Was the Holocaust? [Herman, Gail, Who HQ, Hoare, Jerry] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. What Was the Holocaust?

Review: Appropriate for an 8 year old - My almost 8 year old asked me for a book on the Holocaust and I ordered him this one. I skimmed through it and was satisfied to see that there wasn't anything inappropriate or gory. He read it quickly. It gives a good basic overview or what led up to the war, the Holocaust, and the aftermath, and it includes a nice amount of pictures.
Review: Amazing information at an age appropriate level - This is such a difficult topic to discuss with children and I found this book to be extremely helpful. It also sparked a big interest in World War II with them and they keep relating information they learned from this book to new information they are learning. I really felt that this book was an age appropriate book and introduction into such a large topic for my kids.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Factual Read For Kids, as opined by a parent
*by J***E on October 28, 2020*

My daughter and I love to read together at bedtime still, and now that she is older the books she is interested in have more complex topics. This book was a natural next option after she read the Who Was Anne Frank book. This book about the Holocaust presents the facts of what happened to the Jewish people and others not in Nazi favor in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s. While there was plenty left out in what many victims endured and suffered at the hands of the Nazi's, the cruel facts of the genocide are not sugar coated while being presented in a very age appropriate way. Photos that are included do not show the worst of the worst, but definitely depict the suffering and cruelty. If I am making this sound terrible, it's because the Holocaust is terrible. The book does an excellent job of telling the story and introducing this time in our history for kids aged 9-12. Like many in the Who Was/Is series it is a great launching pad to begin learning more about an important historical time.
