This was just heartbreaking. I've never seen the movie, so it was all new to me. 💔

“We sang as we walked, all of us, singing a hundred different songs, and the Nazis let us sing. Another small mercy. Or perhaps they too missed the way the world had been before the war.”

This story would be particularly good for older elementary students to read about the Holocaust. I think it would be more impactful for them because the main characters were children who are relatable. This book could introduce them to big topics while still being interesting for students to read.

"He looked down and did something quite out of character for him: he took hold of Shmuel‘s tiny hand in his and squeezed it tightly. ‘You‘re my best friend, Shmuel,‘ he said. ‘My best friend for life.‘”

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne was published in 2006 it followed a boy bruno and his family‘s journey to a new home in “Out-With” which was a mispronunciation of Auschwitz. The story was filled with historical information about a different viewpoint of WW2 from a child‘s innocent point of view. The story used historical context to drive this tory by including information on Shmuel( a boy in striped pajamas). A heartbreaking story.
