Look at Eve Bunting and Patricia Palocco. I think that, in truth, you can use many of the same books used with younger kids if you approach the discussion differently. I was thinking of The Cats of Krazinsky Square, which I used with my first and second grade students. I have used that same book with fifth graders in demo lessons and obviously they are ready for more information related to the holocaust. I would not hesitate to read the book with middle or high school kids as a precursor to the same discussion. Sort of like sex education with my own kids--we have always operated on a need to know basis, beginning with honest but limited responses to their questions leading up to the BIG TALK when they were a bit older. Same subject, different treatment.
