Selecting literature to convey the essence of the Holocaust is difficult because there was no standard Holocaust experience. Each person who experienced the Holocaust - whether victim, witness, resuer, or descendant - has a unique story to tell. Selections for this anthology include fiction (both short stories and excepts from novels), poetry, historical accounts, biographical sketches, and drama. Each entry is preceded by a brief biographical note about the author and an introduction. In addition, each chapter opens with material that provides historical context for the selections that follow.

Teachers who have used the first edition of this book praise it for its outstanding strategies and teaching ideas. And now authors Stephens and Brown have added over 50 new ones, plus two new chapters, one dealing with struggling readers and writers and one to help you get started using literacy strategies in your content classes. Here you get sound ideas for integrating reading and writing as tools for learning in the content areas, all solidly grounded in research-based learning theories. Nonfiction and fiction literature are incorporated throughout.
