I've loved this book since I first read in my 4th grade literature circle, and I've loved sharing it with two groups of students since then. I think it does such a great job of humanizing such a terrible set of events and making them understandable for younger people. It's really great to use as part of a unit on World War 2 or just as a read aloud. The characters created by Lois Lowry are really memorable and touching!
