Gr 4-6‘Three brief titles marred by shoddy research and bookmaking. While care has been taken to match the black-and-white photographs and reproductions‘which range from faded and grainy to dark and indistinguishable‘with the text, nowhere are these illustrations identified or credited. Hatred presents the history of anti-Semitism in an accessible manner; however, Kallen gives a rather disjointed discussion of the life of Jesus from the Jewish perspective. In Holocausts, the bibliography is meaningless and the author offers no documentation for the information, which is heavily laden with rhetoric and is very short on solid facts. Nazis repeats some of the material found in the first title, but attention to detail is mediocre, allowing for misspellings, grammatical errors, and some unanswered questions. The author simply states, ``Goering was a drug addict, beloved by the Germans for his vicious sense of humor and enjoyment of drink,'' without further explanation. Milton Meltzer's Never to Forget (HarperCollins, 1976), Mirian Chaikin's A Nighmare in History (Clarion, 1987; o.p.), Barbara Rogasky's Smoke and Ashes (Holiday, 1988), David Adler's We Remember the Holocaust (Holt, 1989), and Susan Bachrach's Tell Them We Remember (Little, 1994), are more reliable titles on the subject.‘Sharon Grover, Arlington County Department of Libraries, VA (c) Copyright 2010.
