This account alternates the story of a Jewish girl who died at Auschwitz with that of a contemporary Japanese museum curator determined to commemorate her. Liberally illustrated with documentary photos, the text makes an attempt (with limited success) to bear witness and to tell a good story. A solid introduction for middle graders, this edition includes an activity list and an updated bibliography. Websites.

Alternating the story of Hana, a Jewish girl who died at Auschwitz, with that of a contemporary Japanese museum curator determined to commemorate her, this nonfiction account, liberally illustrated with documentary photos, tries both to bear honest witness and to tell a good story. It has limited success on both counts, but the book's warm closure makes this a good introduction to the subject for third and fourth graders.
