Review:Detailed, specific and full of examples. Almost too horrific to read all the way through, but a "must-read" to appreciate just how cruel man can be to his fellow man, and be sure we do not let it happen again. Moving. Read more

Surviving Hitler: A Boy in the Nazi Death Camps

Review:Surviving Hitler is written for people between the ages of 10- adults. The story is written about a real person's heroic journey during the time of the Holocaust.

1421: The Year China Discovered America

Review:A hefty book, but definitely a good read. There is a DVD by the same title that goes through the author's search for his information for the book. Very interesting as well, but more a "behind the scenes" look at the making of the book. Read more
