Teaching Ideas: |
This could be used as part of a WW II unit (along with Hanna's Cold Winter and Faithful Elephants). It could be used with Fisher's Kinderdike for a unit on Holland or could be used with maps in a geography lesson. Students may want to discuss taking personal risks for people from other communities or talk about their own experiences with war. Students may want to predict what will happen to these survivors after the war.
