I can't think of a time in my life when I *didn't* know about the Holocaust.
There must have been such a time, nobody takes their three year old kid and one day decides to tell them of horrific things, but I can't recall it.
My nieces are 5 and 2.5, and the older one is right about the time when she should be learning about serious subjects.
This is, I think, a good introduction to what is a very serious subject indeed.

Each year I do a thematic unit on the Holocaust and this is one of the picture books that I use with my sixth grade students. They enjoy the story and the pictures portray the writer's feelings were very.

An elderly lady retells events from her childhood. She describes her confusion and fear when her best friend has to wear a yellow star, her sadness when her friend mysteriously disappears one night and her enduring hope of finding her again. Great introduction for learning about the Jews under Nazi Germany. Reading level is third grade but good as a read aloud to younger children. Very moving.
