Literature and Art

Holocaust literature  plays a vital role in preserving the memory of the Holocaust and educating future generations about its horrors. These stories often focus on the experiences of young people during this dark period, making the history more relatable and emotionally impactful for younger readers. Through fiction and memoir, Holocaust literature helps readers understand the human cost of hatred and the importance of empathy and resistance. This section will include a Young Reader’s Annotated Bibliography, Children’s Voices of the Holocaust (poetry, excerpts from diaries), and in-depth units to teach Martin and Anne, The White Bird,  Number the Stars, Yellow Star, The Diary of Anne Frank, Maus, and  Night.
