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.

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.
