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.
