At this point in time, you have probably studied the Holocaust a few times in school and been exposed to books or movies that occur in this time (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, The Book Thief, etc.). We are going to be reading the book Night by Elie Wiesel, which will give us insight to an individual who lived through this horrendous time period.
With a partner, you need to brainstorm all that you know about the Holocaust (time, people, places, etc.). You need to post that brainstormed list as a comment to this post and we will use the lists as we begin to discuss our next book.
