Marking Humanity

This book is a series of stories, poems, and essays written by holocaust survivors.  I chose this book for two reasons.  The first is that I like that it has short stories and poems so that I can pick and choose the most important parts.  The second reason I chose it is because it is the true stories written in the words of the survivors.  I was so moved by the book, "To Be a Slave" and I thought this would have a similar impact with my topic of the Holocaust.

    Heidi,

    Marking Humanity sounds like a great book of resources to reference during your unit! I was also moved by 'To Be a Slave' and it sounds like Marking Humanity would have a similar impact for your theme!

    Sounds like a good choice! Fiction is great and can get to real truths. But I think, especially when learning about historical events, words of those who lived it will have a great impact on your students.
