Anne Frank and the Children of the Holocaust
Carol Ann Lee
- Reading
- Read together or check in at natural pauses, giving time to talk about the historical context and the different voices represented. The photographs may offer a useful point to pause.
- Themes
- History through personal testimony: Anne Frank’s life is placed alongside major Holocaust events, with survivor accounts and other victims’ journal extracts included. The stated approach combines historical information with personal narratives, giving both historical context and individual testimony.
- Worth knowing
- The subject matter includes Nazi occupation and concentration camp experiences. These accounts may be emotionally difficult to encounter; consider whether your child would value support while reading.
