How does one broach with a child or young adult a subject like the Holocaust, the full magnitude and horror of which are difficult even for many adults to comprehend? This book, in conversational format, offers an ideal way to present this difficult subject to a young audience. At the books opening, the author and her daughter Mathilde meet Berthe, a friend of the authors, on the beach, where they see the number that was tattooed on Berthes arm at Auschwitz.
