Learning about the Holocaust through Elie Wiesel's Autobiography
Help me give my students copies of Night to grow their knowledge about the Holocaust.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Noakes's classroom raised $176
This project is fully funded
My Project
Our students study the Holocaust during the last quarter of their 8th grade year. Students read the play, The Diary of Anne Frank as their mentor text. Students select another text to read on their own throughout the unit. We would like to add Night to the options for students to read independently during our Holocaust unit. This book will allow students to experience these horrific events through the voice and memories of a survivor, Elie Wiesel, of two camps, Auschwitz and Buchenwald. This project would provide students with copies of Night.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
