Overview
What would your life be like if you were a Jewish person living in Nazi Germany in 1940? You might be forced to leave your home with only what you and your family could carry. You might even be killed by members of the Nazi party. The Holocaust is a grim period in human history. More than 11 million people, including 6 million Jewish people, died at the hands of the Nazis. In The Holocaust: Racism and Genocide in World War II, readers ages 12 to 15 learn about the long history of anti-Semitism, the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party, the increasing persecution of Jewish people and other populations, and the events of The Final Solution,” the attempt to exterminate an entire race of people through industrialized death camps. Projects such as writing letters in the voices of teenagers of different races who lived in the 1930s help infuse the content with realism and the eternal capacity for hope. In-depth investigations of primary sources from the period allow readers to engage in further, independent study of the times. Additional materials include links to online primary sources, a glossary, a list of current reference works, and Internet resources.

Praise for other books by Carla Mooney <i>Chemistry: Investigate the Matter that Makes Up Your World</i> <i>School Library Connection</i>. . . This is a unique reference resource for upper elementary through high school students that want to learn more about the subject. Recommended. <i>School Library Journal</i> This title introduces readers to the wonders of chemistry and its far-reaching effects on our lives, from the carbonation in soda to nuclear reactions. The experiments provided will inspire and encourage further discovery of the world of science. <i>National Science Teachers Association</i> <i>Chemistry</i> is a short but sweet book that packs a powerful punch of learning about matter on every page. <i>Comparative Religion: Investigate the World Through Religious Tradition</i><i>Booklist</i> The abstractions of religion make it a tricky topic for objective and clear middle-level resources, but this dynamic book manages to be both informative and accessible. By examining complex beliefs and doctrine in an accessible and reader-friendly format, Mooney effectively teases out the commonalities among major world religions. <i>Genetics: Breaking the Code of Your DNA</i>National Science Teachers Association. . .

Other books in the series: <i>The Roaring Twenties: Discover the Era of Prohibition, Flappers, and Jazz</i><i>Library Media Connection</i> This engaging and insightful read into the 1920s can be used as a supplementary textbook in an American History class. Lusted's writing captures the decade, offering all its vitality with an encompassing overview of the era.
