“The Soldier with the Golden Buttons—Adapt For Youth” presents a child’s view of the Holocaust. It is the story of Jewish children wrenched from a carefree childhood to be overwhelmed by the brutal savagery of war. A few days are enough to turn them into adults forced to content with hunger and thirst, fear of death, and with the horror of being taken away from their mothers. Closed in a wagon, children are helping each other.
