Youth Destroyed – The Nazi Camps: Primary Sources from the Holocaust

This is a superb resource for students grades 7 – 12.  Excellent organization and layout makes for easy use.  Primary source text is in bold font and illustrations are outline in bold color.  Maps, charts, time line, glossary, bibliographic sources and index support the text.  For studens who seek additional information, they can also make use of the resources given in the chapter notes.  This book, or any lone chapter from it, would partner well with the novel or film The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.  Both touch the soul in making individual victims come to life for today’s youth who are so distant from this historic period.  They will readily see that such horrible events could happen to them, to us, to all–even today.  This is perfect for any student who needs help to use primary sources in a paper or presentation.
