MY RATING: 5 of 5 stars
The Promise is a children’s storybook written by Pnina Bat Zvi and Margie Wolfe, and illustrated by Isabelle Cardinal. It is about the true story of two sisters, Toby and Rachel, who got imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp. It is a given fact that the Holocaust period is one of the dreadful events in the history of mankind, and even young kids were the victim of this atrocity.
Toby and Rachel’s story, and their pledge to each other to always together be brilliantly narrated in this book. Regardless of what happened to them in the Auschwitz camp was tremendously horrible; their tale of how they survived to keep their promise is quite fascinating.
A highly commendable read and a great way to introduce kids, as young as ten and below, about what is the Holocaust, Nazi Germany, and the concentration camps during the World War II. There are a lot of moral lessons that kids could pick up after reading this and parents or teachers must carefully explain and point out it to them.
