Rose Blanche is a book about a young girl experiencing the Holocaust without understanding it. Throughout the book she is walking to a Concentration Camp and bringing the Jewish prisoners food to eat. She brings it to them but never really understands why they are there. At the end the American soldiers are comming and freeing the prisoners but Rose gets shot.
I understand why this book may be controvercial in some schools. It is a very deep story about the war. Young readers may n0t understand the book's meaning. The book is interesting because it is not from the perspective of a little girl inside the concentration camp but from a little girl witnessing all the horrors happening. I would not use this book because it could cause some controversy and might be hard to explain to little children.
