Yellow Star


Yellow Star
Roy, Jennifer
ISBN 978-0-7614-5277-5

This amazing account of Syvia and her family and their experience as Jews in the Lodz Ghetto is based on interviews with the author's aunt. This is the aunt's story. She was one of only 12 children who survived the ghetto during the war. Told in verse, the heart wrenching details are skillfully portrayed without being too dramatic or scary for the intended audience. This book is a must read for all students.
