Book ID/图书代码： 12580018C00033

English Summary/英文概要： You might be forced to leave your home with only what you and your family could carry. You might even be killed by members of the Nazi party.

The Holocaust is a grim period in human history. More than 11 million people, including 6 million Jewish people, died at the hands of the Nazis. In The Holocaust: Racism and Genocide in World War II, readers ages 12 to 15 learn about the long history of anti-Semitism, the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party, the increasing persecution of Jewish people and other populations, and the events of “The Final Solution,” the attempt to exterminate an entire race of people through industrialized death camps.

Projects such as writing letters in the voices of teenagers of different races who lived in the 1930s help infuse the content with realism and the eternal capacity for hope. In-depth investigations of primary sources from the period allow readers to engage in further, independent study of the times. Additional materials include links to online primary sources, a glossary, a list of current reference works, and Internet resources.

Awards/获奖情况：Booklist, May 1 2017: by covering anti- Semitism from its beginnings through the Holocaust. It recounts Hitler’s rise to power, his founding of the Nazi party, and the increasing prejudices shown during that period toward Jews and others, such as the Romani people. It explains how these prejudices led to the Final Solution, the systematic mass murder of the Jews in concentration camps. Each chapter includes short facts, activities, key questions, and a “Vocab Lab” for readers, which refers them to the glossary. A helpful time line, informational sidebars, photos, maps, and comic strips all serve to reinforce the text. PS icons found throughout the text, inside a magnifying glass, link to primary sources or QR codes (some of which are prisoners’ artwork from concentration camps). Readers will gain an understanding of why they must ensure that genocide on any scale never happens again. This is a good overview of the topic for middle-grade history classrooms.
