How do you give this stars? I disliked it entirely. But how could you possibly like reading about the horror? Ugh. I was relieved it was done but it was an important read.
I read this aloud to students and had an interesting conversation with students. I said that I thought Holocaust stories got harder to read as you get older. An 18-year-old student said it was difficult for him to read, but that he thinks he could’ve handled it better when he was younger. A 14-year-old student said he was OK with it. The older you get, the more real it becomes. And that is nearly unbearable. Does that mean we must teach this history when students are younger or when they’re older?
