The Boys Who Challenged Hitler: Knud Pedersen and the Churchill Club by Phillip Hoose

4.0

This book should be taught in classrooms around the world. Kids need to know they can make a difference even if they aren't old enough to vote, drink, go to war, buy porn. This story is inspiring. And for those teachers who would argue they don't want to teach about violence in their classrooms, read the book, the Churchill Club made a vow that they would not use violence unless it absolutely was necessary. It never because necessary. These boys challenged one of the strongest regimes ever in history and they still went to school every day and took the time to have silent crushes on the girl they would never talk to. Teach kids to stand up for what is right, even if you are scared it might backfire on you. If you teach the story the right way than students will learn what it means to fight for freedom with the tools they've got...their minds.
