Re: [ha-Safran] Books about Modern Orthodox children

[Samara Katz via Hasafran]

The Hereville series is amazing and great for any denomination but might be 
particularly relevant to Modern Orthodox children, especially girls. They are 
some of my favorite books for many reasons!

Subject: [ha-Safran] Books about Modern Orthodox children

I am the librarian in a Modern Orthodox elementary day school.  Most of the 
children's books from Orthodox publishers that I have seen are written about 
the more chareidi part of the community.  While I do purchase some of those, I 
would love to include books in our collection that are more reflective of our 
students' lives; however, there doesn't seem to be much out there in English.  
Any suggestions?

Re: [ha-Safran] Schooling educators about the Holocaust

[Yeshaya via Hasafran]

Mrs pinchup, that list is so helpful I can't even begin to tell you! After 
seeing those book titles my eyes just lit up! I was trying to put together a 
brief list for my own presentation, but just couldn't come up with those good 
books. That was a big help. Hope I can reciprocate with my own help. We have a 
big staff of very intelligent and knowledgeable librarians, so we would love to 
be in touch.

Regards
Yeshaya

Hi,

This list is from some presentations I gave a while ago, but I think they are 
still relevant:

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - 10th grade and up
Rutka's Notebook - 10th grade and up
T4 by Anne Clare LeZotte - 9th and up
Yellow Star by Jennifer Roy - 8th and up
Emil and Karl by Yankev Glatshteyn and Jeffrey Shandler - 9th and up
*Nicholas Winton's Lottery of Life by Matej Minac and Peter A. Rafaeli - 9th 
and up
**Salvaged Pages: Young Writers' Diaries of the Holocaust by Alexandra Zapruder

Adult Book for Teen Readers (most likely 11th and 12 grade)

***The Girl in the Green Sweater by Krystyna Chiger and Daniel Paisner
Tropical Zion by Allen Wells and Dominican Haven by Marian A. Kaplan - about 
German Jews sent to farm in the Dominican Republic
Defiance by Nechama Tec
*Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay



*Video available - Nicholas Winton and the Power of Good.  This clip is very 
powerful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKkgO06bAZk. He passed away in 2015 
at the age of 106.
** MTV made a the movie,  I'm Still Here, based on the book: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_cpvkIU6IY
***FIlm In Darkness is based on the book. It won an Academy Award in 2012 for 
Best Foreign Film. The green sweater is part of the collection at the United 
States Holocaust Memorial Museum: 
https://www.ushmm.org/collections/the-museums-collections/curators-corner/a-cherished-object-kristine-kerens-green-sweater
Film available (starring Daniel Craig)
* Film available (heard it was not so good)

This bibliography is a little dated, but I like the way it was organized:

Shabbat Shalom,
Chava

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 
bookoflifepodc...@gmail.com, and give me:
1. Title
2. Author
3. Grades for which book is appropriate

Thanks,
Heidi Rabinowitz
