Gr 6-10 Many histories use primary sources but fail to do so effectively. These books succeed by integrating into their narratives lengthy quotes from Jewish and other teens whose lives were endangered or changed by the Nazi regime. Each book provides historical background, but the narratives rest upon the recollections, making the material immediate and horrifyingly real. The books have the added advantage of being long enough to give students an authentic impression of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. Certain to capture readers attention, these are excellent purchases.

Photographs, lists of resources, and chapter notes make the information accessible and encourage further reading. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
