SPI’s 1st-person Holocaust stories help young people better understand this critical period of history. The stories in the collection originate in Germany, Belgium, Hungary, and Poland. All of those who shared their story were under the age of ten when Hitler’s army invaded. These children experienced the aloneness of kindertransport, becoming a “hidden child” and life in a Jewish ghetto. And, without exception, they tell of the “unsung heroes” who risked their lives to protect them.
SPI Holocaust stories are archived at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, and in libraries nationwide.
