Remember not to forget

"Designed as an introduction to the Holocaust, this book presents the origins and history of anti-Semitism, beginning with the year 70 C.E., when the Jews were forced out of Jerusalem, to the founding of the State of Israel in 1948. Finkelstein uses specific incidents from history to illustrate how anti-Semitism stripped Jews of their rights and dignity. With young readers in mind, Finkelstein presents the subject matter in a factual way, conveying the somber nature without including details that could be frightening to children. Dramatic woodcuts accompany Finkelstein's text"--back cover.
