Holocaust Remembrance Books

On the heels of Martin Luther King Jr. day comes International Holocaust Remembrance Day. During these last few weeks, our country and our world has stopped to remember the injustices that occurred, the lives that were lost, and the lessons we have learned.

Recently, my class has been reading Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, a story of a young girl who faces her worst fears for the sake of her Jewish friends. We have been mulling over the idea of courage . . . what does it mean to have courage? Can we be sure that we have courage until we are faced with a scary circumstance? How can others help us to have courage?

Tomorrow, take a moment to with your children to stop, read, and reflect on the lives of brave men, women, and children who suffered and fought during the Holocaust. What does courage mean to them?

Take note. These topics are deep and sometimes triggering. Please preview each book before you read to make sure it is the right fit for your children.
