"In 1945 the war ended. The Germans surrendered, and the ghetto was liberated. Out of over a quarter of a million people, about 800 walked out of the ghetto. Of those who survived, only twelve were children. I was one of the twelve." For more than fifty years after the war, Syvia, like many Holocaust survivors, did not talk about her experiences in the Lodz ghetto in Poland. She buried her past in order to move forward. But finally she decided it was time to share her story, and so she told it to her niece, who has re-told it here using free verse inspired by her aunt. This is the true story of Syvia Perlmutter—a story of courage, heartbreak, and finally survival despite the terrible circumstances in which she grew up. A timeline, historical notes, and an author's note are included.

this is a really good book
It's one of those stories which are true and historic with a sad tale of survival and it is very meaningful read this amazing, depressing story and I hope you'll like it!
This book is a must-read for people who love history and learning about the Holocaust and World War II. I've read Yellow Star three times and the book becomes even better each time I read it! The book talks about the Holocaust in a more meaningful way by telling a story about a true Holocaust survivor instead of stating endless amounts of facts and statistics.This book is a must-read!
