Summary:
Illustrated with paintings, documents, and photos, this is the true story of a family's escape from war-torn Europe during WW II.
Teaching Ideas:
K-W-L's could be developed about the Holocaust in general, adding to the "L" column as the readers progress through the book. The escape route lends itself to map work; the end pages offer lots of extension possibilities. Creating a timeline might also help keep track of the family's progress. Match with Passage to Freedom, as Mr. Sugihara is mentioned in this book. Discussion/ writing about forced vs. chosen relocation might prove interesting, as might comparison of former life and life in Canada. The book could be used in a text set on relocation or refugees.
