## Description

desertcart.com: The Devil's Arithmetic (Puffin Modern Classics): 9780142401095: Yolen, Jane: Books

Review: Convenient and fast book shipping - Needed for school reading list. Good price and so convenient to buy on desertcart instead of traveling to book stores.
Review: A great read for an adults and children alike - I first read this book in jr high school. It was a captivating way to introduce preteens/young teens to WW2. I recently saw that it was on a “banned” list, while I could remember all the details, I remembered really enjoying it. So I bought it. It came today, and I finished it within a few hours. I will be giving it to my 11 and 12 year olds to read as well. This book reminds us how important it is to remember the past, even if it is ugly and uncomfortable. The authors not at the end says it perfectly “ Today, a lifetime later we can echo Winston Churchill who wrote: ‘There is no doubt that this is probably the greatest and most horrible single crime ever committed in the whole history of the world’ And yet it is STILL impossible, unimaginable, difficult to grasp. Even with the facts in front of us, the numbers, the indelible photographs, the autobiographies, the wrists still bearing the long numbers, there are people in the world who deny such things actually happened”

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book to introduce students to WW2.
*by B***E on November 21, 2017*

I was immediately drawn into the plight of the main character as she was sent back to WW2 a few months into the war. The plight of this Jewish family was not the same for each family member, but none of them continued on with their lives untouched. As a small bonus, THE DEVIL'S ARITHMETIC explains many Jewish beliefs and traditions as they appear in the lives of the characters. I read this story aloud to both a third and fourth grade classroom. The students were spellbound as the tale unfolded. This led to many discussions and questions about why the war was fought, why the Jewish families were treated with increasing harshness. The prison camps and terrible conditions in them shocked and worried my classes. What an excellent book to help children understand what happened in ww2.
