Day 17 - #InHiding #NewYearNewYou
A marvelous and readable introduction to Anne Frank and the Holocaust, this sensitive portrait allows the reader to identify with Anne Frank and to share her isolation, hopes, and fears. This biography tells both about the Frank family and their lives before World War II and their years spent in hiding during the war.

Eggs Great book for young folk. I wonder if Holocaust is still taught in public schools..... 5y
Catherine_Willoughby @Eggs In Irish Schools History is no longer a compulsory subject in Junior Cert level (state exam taken around 15/16 years old). Leaving Cert (state exam for college points ) Modern history is taught but WW2 & Holocaust is slightly covered , our classes focus more on Irish Independence (1921) and the years after . Ireland tries to forget WW2 due many Irish ( my grandfather ) who serviced under the British Army. We are a natural state . 5y
Catherine_Willoughby @Eggs Germany students learn early about Nazi, WW2 and the Holocaust. Their history is drilled into them so it's not to be repeated . They must do speeches/reports and other class work around that period in their history . Each EU state covers WW2 different due to each countries unique pass to that time period. 5y
Eggs Thanks @Catherine_Willoughby for the thoughtful and detailed clarification on this. 5y
