by Cath Senker
Published 13 February 2006
Uses personal accounts to look at the Nazis' murder of over six million people during World War II, from Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s to the liberation of the concentration camps in 1945.
Modern history is fascinating and this series proves it! Designed especially for reluctant readers, each book covers a twentieth century conflict in an approachable and enthralling way. Whilst covering all the key events and incidents involved in each conflict, the series also looks at how these affected the lives of real people on the front line, incorporating fascinating real life tales. This title: describes the sequence of events in a clear, accessible manner; includes a timeline spread, summary of key events and a 'new words' box at the foot of each spread; and uses primary and secondary source material in a range of bite-sized text types from newspaper reports, diary/journal extracts, eyewitness accounts, quotes and excerpts from important speeches.
