Hitler's War Against Children: How One Boy Survived the Death Camps--by Andrea Warren--CCSS Aligned

by  Authors on Call, iNK Think Tank

Program image

Andrea Warren's Surviving Hitler: A Boy in the Nazi Death Camps is widely used both in this country and others to introduce students fourth grade and up to the Holocaust through the true story of one boy who lived through Hitler's occupation of Poland and three years in the death camps. Like her book, Warren's presentation is non-graphic and straightforward, in spite of covering some very difficutl material. Even the most sensitive of students will be captivated by Jack and his bravery. While having read the book is not required, students who do so and also hear this program will understand the what and the why of the Holocaust. Identifying with Jack, they will see Hitler's victims as people just like themselves and will want to know more about ethnic hatred, tyrannical oppression, and World War II.

Program Details

Format

1. In this program I will introduce students to 12-year-old Jack, whose story begins in Poland before Hitler. In an age-appropriate manner, I will share Jack's three-year experience in a concentration camp from ages 15 to 18, and his life since in America.
2. I will discuss how and why Hitler targeted Jewish children. I will explain in simple terms how ethnic cleansing continues to exist in our own time.
3. I will share powerful (but non-graphic) photos that convey the anguish of the Holocaust victims, and also give students a sense of Jack, his lost family, and his present life.
I will end with a Q&A session with students.
