The Holocaust Museum

Each book about the Holocaust brings insight to us, whether written for an adult, a child or a teenager. It is by turning open the cover that we are acknowledging that we are united in our historical past - all humans. This book may bring to light an unknown fact, a photo may bear a striking resemblance to those kept in your own home or produce a chill, as you realize that you have stood in that depicted geographical space. It is part of the "We the People" U.S. history series of books that examine key events shaping the course of the nation. Haugen has thematically organized an historical overview for the establishment of The Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. She leads the reader through the causes of the Holocaust by briefly outlining WWI and WWII, the creation of the death camps and the murderous activities of the Nazis. Her text reminds us that the purpose of this museum is to educate and serve as a lasting memorial to those who perished. Haugen notes that there are educational and outreach programs available for teachers through the museum services. The book provides a glossary, a fact page, a list of important people and timeline. These elements would be of great use in creating a class study unit for ages 5th grade and above. Although the book serves as a wonderful teaching tool, it requires sensitivity and open communication when used in a classroom environment. Christine Maasdam
