This is a book that wasn't created to bring awareness to the Holocaust. It causes sympathy from the readers towards the Nazis as we tend to feel how ignorant the child was in terms of the situation. This was likely not the case in real life, as they were required to be aware. This tends to lead to misinformation as well as a lot of other details that are inaccurate. The authors themselves tend to ignore what the Jewish community actually has to say. It's rather concerning how schools will use this to educate people about the Holocaust.
