Lowry, Lois. **//Number The Stars//**. New York: Bantam Doubleday Dell Books, 1990.
 * Ten-year-old Annemarie Hohansen and her best friend, Ellen Rosen, have to deal with the terrors and dangers associated with the Nazi Party, and food shortages. Ellen, a Jew, moves in with the Johansen family and pretends to be a part of the family, when the Nazis start "relocating" Jews in Denmark. Lois Lowry has been awarded a Newbery Medal for this novel, which is a major accomplishment. I remember reading this novel when I was in fifth grade, which was about twelve years ago. For me, this novel is still a great read, very compelling, and I will never forget this story. Everyone should read this novel!

Yolen, Jane. **//The Devil’s Arithmetic//**. New York: Puffin, 1990.
 * In this novel, Yolen attempts to answer those who question why the Holocaust should be remembered. Hannah, 12, is tired of remembering, and is embarrassed by her grandfather, who rants and raves at the mention of the Nazis. During a Passover Seder, Hannah is chosen to open the door to welcome the prophet Elijah. As she does so, she is transported to a village in Poland in the 1940s, where everyone thinks that she is Chaya, who has just recovered from a serious illness. She is captured by the Nazis and taken to a death camp, where she is befriended by a young girl named Rivka, who teaches her how to fight the dehumanizing processes of the camp and hold onto her identity. Through Hannah, with her memories of the present and the past, Yolen does a fine job of illustrating the importance of remembering. She adds much to children's understanding of the effects of the Holocaust, which will reverberate throughout history always.

Frank, Anne. **//The Diary of A Young Girl//**. New York: Bantam, 1993.
 * The journal of a Jewish girl in her early teens describes both the joys and torments of daily life, as well as typical adolescent thoughts, throughout her two years spent in hiding with her family during the Nazi occupation of Holland.
