Summary: Highly Recommended Low-key Adventure
Comment: I loved this book as a child, came across it again as an adult in my parent's attic, and still love it. In retrospect the overall themes are somewhat heavy: Nazi's, hiding fugitives at the risk of your own life and children keeping life or death secrets, but as a child I didn't grasp the greater issues, and it didn't matter to the storyline. Based on a true story, twenty children at a convent are asked by the nuns to help them conceal ten Jewish children from the Nazi's. When I read this as a child I basically had NO religious education, and knew little about WWII except for what my father told me, and that Nazi's were bad. That's all you need. It's a short, but gripping story, and for the children of today who have so much, it's glimpse into the lives of others in the past who didn't. I highly recommend this book to anyone who reads.

Summary: The best early introduction to the Holocaust
Comment: I read Twenty and Ten when I was a 3rd grader (about 30 years ago), and is my lifetime favorite book. The story, based on an actual situation, describes how 20 Christian children used their wits and compassion to hide 10 Jewish children from the Nazis during World War II. The children's experiences are truly an adventure, yet do not trivialize the Holocaust. Although I do not recommend teaching young children about the Holocaust's grim details, this book opens the discussion about people's responsibility to one another regardless of differences. I have yet to find a child or adult who can put the book down once they start reading it

Summary: GREAT READ!!!
Comment: The book I think you should read is Twenty and Ten by Claire Huchet Bishop. Twenty and Ten deals with the Holocaust and concentration camps. Kids had to
be hidden from the Nazis because they were endanger of being sent away to a concentration camp . It took place around World War II
In Twenty and Ten Nazis are trying to steal the kids from the Jews. When I read this book it was extremely emotional and shocking. When I read the book I felt like I could feel their pain and felt what it was like to be locked up and also I felt heroic, like I was the one saving and fighting for the kid's lives. This book is a great read.
