Publisher's Summary

Daniel barely remembers leading a normal life before the Nazis came to power in 1933. He can still picture once being happy and safe, but memories of those days are fading as he and his family face the dangers threatening Jews in Hitler's Germany in the late 1930's. No longer able to practice their religion, vote, own property, or even work, Daniel's family is forced from their home in Frankfurt and sent on a long and dangerous journey, first to the Lodz ghetto in Poland, and then to Auschwitz - the Nazi death camp. Though many around him lose hope in the face of such terror, Daniel, supported by his courageous family, struggles for survival. He finds hope, life and even love in the midst of despair. Although Daniel is a fictitious character, his story was inspired by the real experiences of many of the more than one million children who died in the Holocaust. Daniel's Story was published in conjunction with an exhibit called "Daniel's Story: Remember the Children" at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Great family listening for grades 4-8 and up.

It’s stood out to me that at the end he found everybody he loved, and that was just very encouraging 

As a kid, I saw one part of the story quite disturbing, so might just want to listen to it over before you let your kids listen to it  but it’s perfectly fine to listen to

Timely!!

An incredibly difficult, yet, important story for our generation to remember - and never forget - HOW the horror of the holocaust happened.
A timely and important story to hear again.
Our world needs a reminder.
Our children need to know.
WE need to know.
