Learning about the Holocaust

Nicole begins by questioning why she must study Anne Frank, then encounters a time-travel experience that brings her face-to-face with Anne Frank.

How the book presents it: The story presents the value of studying the Holocaust as a lesson Nicole comes to recognise.

Talk about: What does Nicole come to understand about why this history matters?

Why It May Be Worth Reading

This may suit a reader interested in historical fiction that connects a present-day character’s questions with Anne Frank and the value of learning about the Holocaust.

What Deserves Attention

These are grave Holocaust-related events.

A Conversation Worth Having

If Nicole’s experience changes how she thinks about studying Anne Frank, what parts of the story seem to shape that change?

Reading Approach

Consider reading alongside discussion of the historical setting, pausing to distinguish Nicole’s time-travel story from what the reader already knows about Anne Frank and the Holocaust.
