Narrative Concering Books Yellow Star

I have read many books about the Holocaust, but only two from a child's perspective, this and the other was When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit. Both are true stories of growing up in the misery and destruction of World War 2, both Jewish.
Before reading this, I didn't know that in the Lodz Ghetto, only 12 children survived, along with about 800 adults. Syvia, or as she became known in the Americanized version of her name, Sylvia, was one of those little children. Her niece, Jennifer Roy, wrote her aunt's story in the language of a child; it feels and sounds like a little kid who can't understand why the Germans want to kill her just because of her religion. She witnesses and endures horror.
One of the things she says is that she had a beautiful orange coat, which she is shown in on the cover of the book, which her mother had to sew the yellow star on, she hated it, because yellow is supposed to be a happy color.
Her father is the hero of the story, his wit and good sense saving Syvia and the rest of her family time and time again.

Write-Up Epithetical Books Yellow Star

Life in a ghetto in Poland from a child's point of view. I'm so glad for the strength of the survivors of the Holocaust who are willing to share their experiences - it is an important topic.

I don't usually love poetry, but Roy writes with such an authentic voice that I couldn't help but be drawn in within the first chapter. Through Syvia's, the main character's, acute observations about everyday life in the Lodz Ghetto, I felt like I learned just a little more about the extent of the Holocaust's effect on its victims, not just physically but psychologically as well.

It sounds like such a cliché but I really could not put down this book, and I read it in one day; I dont know how many hours it took but even though I read slowly, it wasnt many. This book is riveting. Ive read many fiction and non-fiction books about the Holocaust and this is now one of my favorites.Its a based on truth story, one of those fiction/non-fiction books. The author interviewed her aunt, who was one of twelve children to survive the Lodz ghetto during the Nazi occupation in World War

This book was a disappointment because i had such high hopes going into it. The librarian and a lot of my reading friends absolutely loved it and recommended it to me since I love reading books about World War II. I'm sorry to say that I thought that the format could have been done better and I never really got an emotional connection to the book and the character. What I like most about other World War II books is that you get an emotional connection to the character and you start to really

I read this in one sitting. A heart breaking true story about one of the 12 surviving children of the Lodz ghetto. You won't be able to put it down!

This is a most exceptional Holocaust story. It is told in verse through the eyes of a child who was actually in the Lodz ghetto, and was one of only 12 children who survived. While there is some violence in it, it is not graphic, so children can read this Holocaust story, as well as adults who cannot stomach the graphic violence in other books on the topic. What this book so stunningly captures is what every child knows well--fear.Of course, Syvia Perlmutter had far more to fear as both a child

Written in poetic form, the recollections and memories of one of the 12 children who survived the Lodz ghetto. Moving, simple, I finished it in two readings. Amazing book.
