Questions I Am Asked About The Holocaust: young reader’s edition

A young readers’ edition of the bestselling book from Auschwitz survivor Hedi Fried that answers lasting questions about the Holocaust. Hedi Fried was nineteen when the Nazis arrested her family and transported them to Auschwitz. While there, apart from enduring the daily terror at the camp, she and her sister were forced into hard labour before being released at the end of the war. After settling in Sweden, Hedi devoted her life to educating young people about the Holocaust. In her 90s, she decided to take the most common questions, and her answers, and turn them into a book so that children all over the world could understand what had happened. This is a deeply human book that urges us never to forget and never to repeat. ‘Timeless lessons taught with simple eloquence.’ Kirkus Reviews
