First sentence: EVEN IF IT'S easy for me to describe Auschwitz and explain how the genocide of the Jews took place, there's still something deeper that's impossible to understand and explain: Why did the Nazis want to rid the planet of Jews?
Description: A French historian whose grandparents died in the Holocaust answers her thirteen-year-old daughter's questions about that historic event, including Hitler's rise to power, the establishment of ghettos and concentration camps, and the genocide of the Jews.
