Never to Forget

More about the book

Six million—a number that is impossible to visualize. This represents the Jews killed in Europe between 1933 and 1945. How can we grasp such a staggering figure? While we are urged to remember the Holocaust, it is challenging to comprehend its enormity. Instead of focusing solely on statistics, we must consider the individuals affected. For families torn apart, witnessing the disappearance or slaughter of loved ones, the numbers were painfully tangible—one, two, three, often more. This work shares the stories of those people, drawn from letters, diaries, and the memories of survivors. Through their eyes, the horror becomes undeniable and unforgettable. Based on personal accounts and historical context, this poignant narrative captures the Jewish suffering in Nazi Germany before and during World War II. A respected historian addresses a subject often overlooked in mainstream texts, equipping young readers to confront the difficult questions the Holocaust poses for today. Acclaimed by various organizations, the book has received numerous honors, including recognition from the ALA, the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award for Nonfiction, and the Jane Addams Award Nominee. It stands as a vital resource for understanding this dark chapter in history and its implications.
