Daniel's Story

Published in conjunction with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

De: Carol Matas

Narrado por: Daniel Carpenter-Gold

Daniel barely remembers leading a normal life before the Nazis came to power in 1933. He can still picture once being happy and safe, but memories of those days are fading as he and his family face the dangers threatening Jews in Hitler's Germany in the late 1930's. No longer able to practice their religion, vote, own property, or even work, Daniel's family is forced from their home in Frankfurt and sent on a long and dangerous journey, first to the Lodz ghetto in Poland, and then to Auschwitz - the Nazi death camp. Though many around him lose hope in the face of such terror, Daniel, supported by his courageous family, struggles for survival. He finds hope, life and even love in the midst of despair. Although Daniel is a fictitious character, his story was inspired by the real experiences of many of the more than one million children who died in the Holocaust. Daniel's Story was published in conjunction with an exhibit called "Daniel's Story: Remember the Children" at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Great family listening for grades 4-8 and up.

Read book and great reader

How do you say a book about the holocaust is good? For a holocaust book this is a great story and the reader makes it come alive. I hope we never forget.

Love This Book

A must read/listen!

Read, feel, and understand more of what has happened in the past. Then promise to never allow this to happen again!

Wonderful book!

We should all strive to eliminate prejudice. Even though this is fiction, it said the book was based on true events from survivors. So sad, heart breaking, and moving.

Must Read

Beautiful, touching story from a child’s point of view in the Natzi Jewish camps- arrival, suffrage, torture then for some- finally freedom. Forever in my heart!
