Name:	We are Witnesses: Five Diaries of Teenagers who died in the Holocaust
Product Code:	9780312535674
Description:	By Jacob Boas
Product Detail:	Boas unfolds the history of the Holocaust through poignant excerpts from five teenagers' wartime diaries, enhanced with commentary. Anne Frank turns up, in the final section, but, as Boas points out, "alongside the other four diaries, Anne's looks different than when you read it by itself as the sole voice of the Holocaust." The young writers relay their hopes and fears even as they chronicle the disintegration of their daily lives; one is religious, another politically active, and others are wrapped up in their families. Boas points out each writer's sensitivities as he explains the terrible traps into which the individual teenagers fall. In exploring their fates, he impresses upon the reader their vitality and, thus, the enormity of the Holocaust's losses.
