(2) How did the Nazis Rise to Power? (3) What were the Ghettos? (4) Why did the Nazis move the Jews from Ghettos to Camps? (5) How did World War II and the Holocaust end? The answers are designed to address specific questions and develop key themes to help students and educators understand both the content and the overall timeframe of events. With its informative style and Q&A format, this book is the perfect supplement for a school’s Holocaust curricula. The Guide also contains photographs from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, a user-friendly glossary of crucial terms, and information about Holocaust memoir authors Anne Frank and Elie Wiesel. How the idea was born... M. Guyle Crispin is an educator at a Southern California public middle school. He has taught Language Arts since 2003. While teaching various works of Holocaust Literature, such as The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank and Night by Elie Wiesel, he discovered that much of the history behind these pieces of literature was not covered within the literature itself. That being said, Mr. Crispin searched for a book or guide of supplemental material to help his students and himself. This needed book had to have historical Holocaust information that was accurate, easy to access, and written at a young adult’s level of comprehension. Needless to say, the vast majority of books he examined did not fit the requirements. From that realization came the concept for, and the creation of, this book. |
