Impossible Escape: A True Story of Survival and Heroism in Nazi Europe, by Steve Sheinkin is another great book for teens and young adults to read about the Holocaust.
Clearly explained, this is the story of a teenage young man who survived the atrocities Auschwitz and escaped to tell the world what was happening there. This is a straight forward account of his experience. Also the experience of his childhood friend Gerta who with her parents escaped to Hungary and survived the war in a very different way.
There is no mistaking the serious consequences of anti-semitism and not standing up for people of other ethnic backgrounds. What happened then could happen again.
