Best Friends

This book does a great job of teaching us about a very sensitive subject matter, issues surrounding the Holocaust. It allows us to see the hatred that a little girl and her family faces. At the same time we learn about friendship between two girls and their struggle to remain friends in the midst of hate. You are able to teach a lesson in history or character education. I like the idea that it is suitable for primary grades.

Hi! I am an eigth grader and am currently doing a Holocaust anthology project. I have used this book as one of my short stories. I would highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in the Holocaust or is doing a project. This book helped me learn how courageous Jews were and how much they were dedicated to their religion. It also taught me to value the friendships I have today. In conclusion, Best Friends is a great Holocaust book. It can teach you a lot. I would reccomend this book highly to anyone learning or teaching about the Holocaust. I really enjoyed reading it and hope you will to!! : )

I am a second grade teacher and I love to use this book to teach about the Holocaust. It is an exceptional tool in teaching all children. The book offers excellent lessons from which we all can learn.
