An Anthology for the ClassroomKaren Shawn and Keren Goldfrad, Editors
William Younglove, Associate Editor
This soft-cover set is designed for students and teachers in grades 9-12, college, and university. Practical and highly readable, it is for use in history, social studies, English, Holocaust history and literature, religion, and humanities classes, and for anyone interested in learning about the Holocaust through literary narratives.
The anthology offers 27 outstanding short stories by Holocaust survivors and contemporary writers including Rachmil Bryks, Ida Fink, Bernard Gotfryd, Aharon Megged, Cynthia Ozick, Kurt Vonnegut, and Elie Wiesel. (See the table of contents for details.)
Stories Chosen for Classroom Use
The anthology is organized chronologically and thematically, allowing teachers to incorporate selections appropriately throughout any related course of study.
From “In the Beginning” through “The Second Generation and After,” the stories in each of the 11 sections illuminate moments of the daily lives of the Jews in Nazi-occupied Europe and offer readers a glimpse of the varied responses of men, women, and children to the tragedy unfolding around them.
Extensive Teacher’s Guide
American master teachers, representing public, private, Catholic, and Jewish schools, field-tested the stories, and in highly-engaging, first-person essays, they share their classroom experiences and offer immediately useful suggestions for making these short narratives accessible to learners of all backgrounds and levels.
Included are goals and objectives, vocabulary, relation to state standards, activities, assessment advice, and extensive citations for research and individualized instruction, including up-to-date Web sites.
Literary criticism
In addition, college professors from Israel, Australia, and America provide incisive and detailed literary analyses of each story, along with scholarly resources. These outstanding essays provide a unique complement to the teaching suggestions.
