I bought this book for my 9 year old son who is very interested in World War 11 and Adolf Hitler. He has a basic knowledge of what took place, but of course I don't get into the gruesome details-he is still too young. Even though my son reads on his own, I read this to him. He did pick up on the subtle verbiage of book. It allows parent to fill in the blanks as he/she sees fit. Definitely a great, easy read.

A friendship develops and the children invite Mr. Kaplan to their home to help celebrate Hanukkah. This small kindness changes Morris Kaplan's ... Read More
