Holocaust Books for Children

Sunday, I took my children (8, 10, and 13) to the Saint Louis Holocaust Museum.  To prepare we read a few books together and also watch a couple of movies together (see below).  Other than the ones here, does anyone know of any other age-appropriate books I can share with my children?  They keep asking for more, and I think it's important to satisfy their quest for knowledge.

 

Thanks!

Re: Holocaust Books for Children

Have you tried "Twenty and Ten" by Bishop? It is the story that the movie "Miracle at Moreaux" is based on.  It is short but wonderful.

 

There is also "Number the Stars" by Lowry

You've got many of the ones I knew about, especially The Diary of Anne Frank.  I echo the suggestion about Lowry's Number the Stars, too.
