An introduction to the history of the Shoah and to Judaism

This website introduces children to the Jewish culture through folk tales and stories. It also informs young people about the Second World War and the Shoah.

Without concealing the fate of European Jews assassinated by Nazi Germany and its allies, "Sarah's attic" approaches the Shoah indirectly through the destinies of seven Jewish children. It provides some keys to understanding Judaism, the Yiddish culture and a world the Shoah destroyed forever.
