HIT: Holocaust lit. for elem

["Lester C. Noecker" <lcnoecker@HOTMAIL.COM>]

THANKS TO ALL!!


I just purchased Terrible Things by Eve Bunting at the request of our 5th
grade teacher who teaches about the holocaust. Also have Butterfly by
Polacco, Ann Frank and Number on my grandfather's arm by Adler.

@@@@@@

David Adler has a book about Anne Frank: A Picture Book of Anne Frank thta I
found at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. It is tastefully done for
the younger kids. Right now I am reading The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane
Yolen, which would be great for you older students (4th -6th). There is also
a video for the Yolen book which is pretty true to the story and would be
good for the older students as well.

There are several new books about the Holocaust listed in the CCCBC Choices
(annual list of excellent books for school libraries). I can't recall any of
them offhand but they may have the list on their Web site (it's a great book
they publich every year, I'm sure there would be some other holocausts books
published in earlier years too). http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/

Check out Number the Stars by Lowry and The Butterfly by Patricia Polacco
@@@@@

The Florida Holocaust Museum has a program called traveling trunks which
include grade appropriate materials for use on the holocaust and related
themes. I have currently borrowed the 1st and 2nd grade trunk which includes
the videos Different and the Same with pictures book that go with each of
the 10 videos. It also includes the teacher training manual. If you send me
a fax # I will fax you the list of materials included in the trunk.. Here in
Fl you can borrow the trunks for up to 6 weeks and the only cost is the
shipping. Maybe they would lend to another state oor maybe a museum near you
has the same program. I have not looked at the individual materials in each
trunk but the 1st-2nd is fantastic! The museum has a web site
www.flholocaustmuseum.org. They might be willing to send you a list of the
contents of the other trunks. They go through 12th grade.
