Teaching the Holocaust can be a very difficult subject to discuss and teach in the classroom. I often share images of the concentration camps and use document based questions. Reading and analyzing the young adult novel Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz also conveys the depth of horror. The book includes the starving ghettos, horrific concentration camps, gas chambers, brutal train rides, and unfathomable torture. This book is a great springboard to a discussion on morality and the dangers of following a ruthless dictator.
