I cannot think of anything that could entice young people to become involved in the study of the Holocaust more than to read books about Survivors written and illustrated by their own peers. The fact that the books deal with local Survivors, three remarkable women named Esther, brings children even closer to understanding how the Holocaust touches their own lives.

Having children write books personalizing the Holocaust is a deeply meaningful and moving way for them to internalize this horrid period in history. No doubt they will "never forget" their book writing experience and the young readers in the classroom will learn much from it as well.
