Sad Book

The book Heroes of the Holocaust is a fabulous book. This is a must for all readers who like adventures. I recommend this book for ages 9 and up. I give this book 5 stars. In this book, 6 teenage people risk their lives to save Jewish people from the Nazis during the time of the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a mass murder of people during World War 2. In 1 of the stories, Maria brought food and books to Jewish people in her barn. In another story, Henry makes his house a hideout for Jews. And in another story, Federick helps get Jews through the underground to Switzerland. This is a great book that you will want to read again and again.

Heroes Of The Holocaust Review By: Adam

Heroes of the Holocaust is a tragic but true story of this horrid time in history. Allan Zullo wrote this spectacular book on the Holocaust. I think this was a great book because it shows a lot of interesting information about this important time in history. All the people that were taken into these depressing concentration camps were: Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, and the disabled. So if Franklin D. Roosevelt lived in Germany he would've been sent to a camp because he was in a wheelchair because he had polio. Before the Holocaust there were approximately nine million Jews living after there were only three million Jews living. Can you believe it only 3million. Six million Jews died, that's a lot. In the first chapter a girl named Maria hides two Jews. She brought books and food for them for two straight years. Then something happens to her dad. I recommend this to someone who wants to find out about an important time in history.
