Hi everybody. I'm sure you've heard about the principal of a public high school in Boca Raton (down the street from my library) who told parents that he couldn't say the Holocaust was factual history. Thank goodness they are not renewing his contract.
The Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County put out a statement that they will be working with the county to ensure proper Holocaust education. I sent them a note, as a local librarian and a representative of AJL, offering help with identifying quality Holocaust books. I'd appreciate your help in putting together a list of top notch Holocaust books (both fiction and non) for high schoolers. I'd like to share this list with the Federation, and actually I think this would be a useful thing for AJL to publish on our blog and offer to school districts everywhere. If you have suggestions, please email me at [email protected], and give me: 1. Title 2. Author 3. Grades for which book is appropriate Thanks, Heidi Rabinowitz
