We Must Not Forget: Holocaust Stories of Survival and Resistance
Description
Scholastic Focus presents Deborah Hopkinson's compelling narrative nonfiction, We Must Not Forget: Holocaust Stories of Survival and Resistance, an exploration of the heroic journeys of Jewish survivors from various countries during World War II.
As World War II ravaged Europe, millions of young Jewish people faced the horrors of the Nazis' Final Solution. While many are familiar with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime's genocidal campaign against European Jews and others, the individual stories of survival and resistance remain largely untold. Some were captured and sent to concentration camps, some hid in plain sight, some were separated from their families, and some bravely fought back. Against all odds, these individuals survived, each with a story that demands to be told and remembered. In this meticulously researched and emotionally charged narrative, acclaimed author Deborah Hopkinson gives voice to Holocaust survivors, recounting their persecution, survival, and acts of resistance. Drawing on testimonies from Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Poland, Hopkinson paints a vivid and diverse picture of the Jewish youth experience in Europe under Nazi rule. Through archival images and interviews, this poignant addition to Holocaust literature not only honors the courage of the victims but also inspires young readers to take action by demonstrating compassion towards others in their everyday lives.
