I came across this book online and ordered it. It’s a
resource I would recommend for MS and HS students and teachers. A concise,
well-written collection of vignettes offers students the opportunity to learn
about Jewish resistance during the Holocaust. As stated on the inside cover:
“These resisters answered the genocidal madness and unspeakable depravity that
was Hitler’s Holocaust with the greatest weapons of all—courage, ingenuity, the
will to survive, and the resolve to save others or die trying.”
Included are stories of resistance from the Netherlands,
Germany, Belgium, France, Poland, Belorussia, Greece, and the Ukraine
accompanied by insightful photos and maps. The supporting bibliography and
source notes show the meticulous research done by the author. Students will
also find the sections on background historical information, important dates,
and pronunciation very useful. The book layout is engaging—large print; many
photos, diagrams, and maps; and poems.
The author’s website
provides addition resources and a study guide. The book is available for
checkout from the MCHE library.
