This work examines how the Holocaust is represented in fiction for children and young adults. Kokkola takes on the perspective of the contemporary child, who lacks personal knowledge of the Holocaust, and explores how the unspeakable can be represented for young readers. She also questions why children want to read Holocaust Fiction and how they negotiate the boundary between fact and fiction.
