Read this book by yourself. Read this book to children. Keep this book on library shelves and in classrooms. Recommend this book to a friend. 

Though this is a work of fiction, it very easily could have been non-fiction, and it is important that the world as a whole never forget the holocaust. 

Read. This. Book.
