Youth Destroyed—The Nazi CampsPrimary Sources From the HolocaustSeries: True Stories of Teens in the HolocaustBy Ann Byers DetailsDetails ReviewsReviews Alice Lok was deported to Auschwitz, a Nazi death camp, in 1944. Upon her arrival, she faced a "selection." Alice had to stand in line as a Nazi doctor examined the new camp inmates. If the doctor pointed one direction, it meant hard labor—but labor meant life. If the doctor pointed the other way, that meant immediate death. Alice was lucky. She survived Auschwitz and two other camps. However, millions of Jews were not so lucky. There were six Nazi death camps in operation during World War II and thousands of other work and prison camps. Author Ann Byers details the stories of young people who were forced to live in Nazi camps during the Holocaust.Publication Date: 01/01/2010Copyright: 2010Pages: 128Trim Size: 6 1/2 x 9 1/4Illustrations: Illus. with color and black-and-white photographsGrade Level: 9–12Age Level: 14–upLC Number: 2009026167Lexile: 890ATOS Reading Level: 6.6Dewey: 940.53FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book978-0-7660-3273-6$35.93$26.95 "Students will be fascinated."Delaware County Library System, August 20, 2010"Photographs, lists of resources, and chapter notes make the information accessible and encourage further reading."The Horn Book Guide, Fall 2010"What makes this book unique is the plethora of voices presented--all from youths and teens."Children's LiteratureSee all reviews Loading… Other books in True Stories of Teens in the Holocaust 1 Loading… Other books from the authors 1 Loading… Reviews"The authentic tales from diaries for first-hand knowledge do not mince words . . .
