Twelve-year-old Elyse was always amazed by the moving stories that her grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, shared with her. Learn how she started myjewishlegacy.com and committed herself to helping a new generation remember the past.

My name is Elyse Bodenheimer and I am 12 years old. My bat mitzvah is on Jan. 24, 2009, and for my mitzvah project I have created a website for the children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors to share their relatives’ stories of journey and survival.

Marissa just read the brand-new book Icon of Evil and learned about Hitler’s secret contributor to the Holocaust. Find out whether this read is worth your time.

We all know the horrors of World War II. Whether we learn the tales of Hitler’s Third Reich in history class or through films, commentaries and memoirs of concentration camps like Auschwitz-Birkenau, we will never forget the 6 million people lost not too long ago.

Between school, home and synagogue, we thought we knew it all about WWII and the Jews, right? At least that’s what I told myself when I picked up Icon of Evil by David G. Dalin and John F. Rothmann. Well, think again.
