Interesting in that it never uses the words "Nazi," "Holocaust," or "Jew," and with really detailed, impressive illustrations. This book just didn't do it for me, though, maybe because I've read quite a bit of fiction about WWII and I know there's better stuff out there. Even though I didn't personally find it that moving, I would recommend it to younger readers, say, 10-13 years old, who aren't ready for Maus and The Book Thief. ( )

Rose Blanche was the name of a group of young German citizens who, at their peril, protested against the war. Until the tide of the war turns and soldiers in different uniforms stream in from the East, and Rose and the imprisoned children disappear for ever .

This historically banned book is a look at World War 2 and the Nazi concentration camps as seen through the eyes of a child. This book is form 1985 and does not have a happy ending. While this book is older, it reminds me of the Boy in the Striped Pajamas. A little girl, Rose Balance, sees kids in cages with stars on their chest and just wants to help them get food. This book is sad, but this book is true. This book SHOULD NOT BE BANNED. It should be read. ( )

Es la historia de una niña que en medio de la segunda guerra mundial trata de ayudar a los personas que eran llevados a los centros de concentración pero un dia cuando llega a este campo de concentración ya no encuentra nada.
