This book was a stunner when I read it years ago. Thanks, Kim, you have brought it back to short-term memory and now I will reread it. For young adult readers that would not be “ready” to sustain a reading of “Night”, the 1992 Pulitzer Prize-winning-book (in comic book form), “MAUS” by Art Spiegelman is a surefire way to introduce the Holocaust to young people. It’s an autobiography, is graphic with engrossing comics and took 13 years to complete.

Hugs, your relative, Shay

Please check out kidsoffthecouch.com, it has great ideas for combining movies and outings for kids and teenagers. The Anne Frank adventure was geared towards teens.

There are so many things in life that I’m helpless to do much about other than witness it, but there is value in just that.

I read this book many years back when my son read it for his high school English class.
I remember feeling horrified by all that Elie Weisel had to endure. I agree with you, the least we can do for the Holocaust victims is to remember. One way to remember is to read their stories.
