The Holocaust: Never Again

My students need 45 copies of Elie Wisel's "Night" and 45 copies of "The Diary of Anne Frank".

Baltimore, MD Grades 6-8

I teach 7th and 8th grade language arts in a low-income school. My students, although limited in resources and exposure to the world beyond their neighborhood, are enthusiastic learners.

One of my goals as an educator is to provide my students with new ways of understanding themselves and others through exposure to situations, ideas and perspectives that they might not otherwise consider. As an educator, I've found that one of the most important tool in shaping my students' world views is literature. Last year, I checked out 15 copies of Elie Wiesel's "Night" from the public library and, sharing the limited copies of the novel, read the book with my 8th grade classes. Most of my students had never heard of the Holocaust. Our culminating activity was a trip to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C.

I hope to teach this book with my new students this year in conjunction with "The Diary of Anne Frank", and my vision is for each student to have his/her own copy of both novels to take home and read at night. However, I do not have the funds available to purchase class sets of the novels.

Your donation will ensure that the stories of the victims of Nazi Germany will be passed on to this generation so that they may work to ensure that this tragedy is never again repeated.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
