thank you so much for this link. I am teaching my fifth graders about this now and reading Number the Stars. The documentary sounds a little graphic. Do you think it is appropriate for fifth graders? diane

This is about a surviving twin who as a victim found peace by forgiving. I thought it was so powerful because Eva Kor looks like anyone's grandma. The story of what happens to twins at Auschwitz is told, but it also links what happened to real people who have had to live with it and to now. Eva has a Holocaust museum in Terre Haute, Indiana. And it was firebombed so kids can see that things still happen. But the theme that I thought was most important was how forgiveness is frees the victim and that good can come from evil You might want to check it out. Eva also has a book, titled below. Click below and it will take you to Amazon.

But in the meantime I'd you love the titles you have used to coincide with the Diary of Anne Frank. Thanks so much! Rhonda Heather wrote: We are beginning a holocaust unit in 8th grade. Typically we have the students read The Diary of Anne Frank and The Devil's Arithmetic. The unit would take forever because of the amount of time that we had to give them in class to read. I am excited to say that we are adding picture books, short stories and graphic novels to our collection of books available to the students.
