Erica - Ruth Vander Zee

This book is open to multiple readings and, while, due to its form, the length of the text and the illustrations, it is aimed at young children, it can be read up to high school. According to Yad Vashem - the International Center for Holocaust Studies and Education in Jerusalem - education about the Holocaust should begin at a young age. In Greece, "Holocaust Teaching" is available as a course at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, while relevant workshops are organized in Athens, Thessaloniki and Ioannina.

"The book illuminates aspects of History taught in primary education and is extremely timely due to the resurgence of phenomena of racism and anti-Semitism. It is important to discuss these phenomena with children and connect them to the traumatic events of World War II."
Mariza DeKastro, Educator, children's literature critic.
