Hitler Youth



Bartoletti, S. (2005). Hitler Youth. NY: Scholastic.

This informational book is not about Hitler, but rather the generation of young men and women who followed him. This book opened my eyes to a part of history I never knew existed. They were called the Hitler Youth and many of them were mislead and taken advantage due to their innocence. I found this book too strong and chilling for young readers. Yet the information and knowledge I gained were remarkable.

Textbook Assignment 2:

I found this book too strong and chilling for young readers. Yet the information and knowledge I gained were remarkable. The author included photographs, an epilogue, timeline, author’s note, about the photographs, quote sources, bibliography, acknowledgements and an index.  The information was extremely accurate.

 

Received the Newbery Honor and Orbis Pictus Honor award in 2006
