There is this book called Milkweed that's about the Holocaust. Maus is weird it's like a comic book but the main characters are mice? Someone in my class was reading it and I took a look at it and it looked weird. I think it's called the Upstairs room. Elie Wiesel (sp?) that wrote Night also wrote Dawn and the Accident which I think are also about that Holocaust. Elie Wiesel is a Holocaust survivor and his dad died in one of the worst Concentration Camps, Auschwitz. My best friend's favorite book is Maus. It's like metaphorical: the mice are Jews and the cats are Nazis. We're studying the holocaust in Language Arts. We had to do speechs and the topic they gave me was the Holocaust Denial Movement.

There are probably MILLIONS of Holocaust books out there. Here are some more: We are Witnesses: The Diaries of Five Teenagers Who Died in the Holocaust Ten Thousand Children:True stories told by children who escaped the Holocaust on the Kindertransport Four Ferfect pebbles: A Holocaust Story- This is a true story. It is very scary that when she was taken away she weighed around 110 punds and when she came out of the Concentration Camp she weighed around 80 pounds, probably less. Tell Them We Remember: The Story Of the Holocaust Finding Anne Frank- not really a Holocaust book but it explains what happened to Anne before she died, etc. Surviving Hitler: A Boy in the Nazi Death Camps Parallel Journeys Hitler's daughter If I die before I wake Journey to America In My Hands: Memories of a Holocaust rescuer The thing that was really brave is anyone who was risking to hid Jews in their houses were risking being arrested because it was against the law to help us Jews.

Holocaust Denial is so stupid. Trying to say that no the Nazis didn't kill 6 Million Jews when they sure as heck did is just plain stupid!

You can check Barnes and Noble.com and look under Children's books and type in Holocaust and see what you find. It's pretty hard to tell with Holocaust books.

I think anyone that says the Holocaust never happened is on Hitler's side.

I can not fathom why in the world someone would decide just because of someone's religion they want to kill all those people in that area. Hitler should have gone to a Mental Instatute.The new Pope was in the Hitler youth Group when he was a little boy for God's sake! What the heck is this world coming to?

Holocaust Denial is so stupid. Trying to say that no the Nazis didn't kill 6 Million Jews when they sure as heck did is just plain stupid! They scare me. TOTAL WHACKOS. And what's disturbing is today when people do stuff like vandalize synogogues and spray paint swastikas all over them, or when that guy murdered his Jewish neighbor or that guy who tried to shoot a rabbi, or that boy in California who told a fellow student (who was Jewish) that the Anne Frank story was a lieand told her she should go to a concentration camp, or...oh the list could go on and on and on.

What the hell is wrong with these people? They are idiots! You DON'T shoot someone because their religion is different than yours! You just don't! Common sense tells you not to do stupid things like that!

Yeah, but it was required by German law that all children be in the Hitler Youth (I like to call them Nazi scouts), so it's not like he had much of a choice.
