The Crocus Project – Booklist 1 There are very many books written about the horrors of the Second World War and the Jewish children who lived and died during it. Some are stories like Anne Frank’s. Some tell of survivors and refugees, some are about the brave people who tried to help. Most are based on true stories. The Nazis persecuted the Jews and they also persecuted others: black people, homosexuals, Roma and people with disabilities. Writers, journalists, socialists, trade unionists and political opponents to the Nazi regime were also targeted. There are several listings of books about the Holocaust suitable for children. The following are useful points of contact for lists and guides: • Publi c libraries www.askaboutireland.ie/libraries • Children’s books Ireland http://www.childrensbooksireland.com • Internationa l Board on Books for Young People http://www.ibbyireland.ie Every country participating in The Crocus Project will have its own recommended reading list. The books on this reading list refer specifically to the Holocaust. Teachers are strongly advised to read all books before reading them in the classroom and to add their own selections to the list. 2 The Crocus Project – Booklist Anne Frank’s Diary In 1944, Gerrit Bolkestein, a member of the Dutch government in exile, announced in a radio broadcast from London that after the war he hoped to collect eyewitness accounts of the suffering of the Dutch people under the German occupation, which could be made available to the public. As an example, he specifically mentioned letters and diaries. The broadcast was heard by a young Jewish girl called Anne Frank, who was hiding with her family and friends in a secret annexe in Amsterdam. She had been keeping a diary of her experiences since they first went into hiding in 1942. Anne thinks this is a brilliant idea and writes “Just imagine how interesting it would be if I were to publish a novel about the Secret Annexe!” In May 1944, the idea of this novel takes on serious form: “At long last after a great deal of reflection I have started my Achterhuis (Secret Annexe), in my head it is as good as finished, although it won’t go as quickly as that, if it ever comes off at all”. The diary of Anne Frank was found in the Secret Annexe after the family was arrested and was kept carefully by Miep Gies, one of the people who helped the family. Miep handed the diary back to Otto Frank, together with Anne’s notebooks and loose sheets of paper, when he returned to Amsterdam. The diary continues to be read by millions of people all over the world.

  • The Sapling Project
    The Sapling Project http://annefranktreeusa.com/ From her only window to the outside world, Anne Frank could see the sky, birds and a majestic chestnut tree. “As long as this exists”, Anne wrote in her diary, “how can I be sad?” During the two years she spent in the Secret Annex, the solace Anne found in her chestnut tree provided a powerful contrast to the Holocaust unfolding beyond her attic window. And as war narrowed in on Anne and her family, her tree became a vivid reminder that a better world was possible. Anne’s tree would outlive its namesake by more than 50 years, before being weakened by disease and succumbing to a windstorm in 2010. But today, thanks to dozens of saplings propagated in the months before its death, Anne’s tree lives on in cities and towns around the world. Here in the United States, the Sapling Project is bringing eleven of these precious trees to specially selected locations across the country. As the saplings take root, they will emerge as living monuments to Anne’s pursuit of peace and tolerance. In the process, they will serve as powerful reminders of the horrors borne by hate and bigotry and the need for collective action in the face of injustice. The Tree in Anne’s Diary During a speech delivered in 1968, Anne’s father, Otto Frank, reflected on just how important Anne’s tree was to his youngest daughter. “How could I have known”, he asked “how much it meant to Anne to see a patch of blue sky, to observe the seagulls as they flew, and how important the chestnut tree was for her, when I think that she never showed any interest in nature”.

  • “And Then They Came for Me...”
    “AND THEN THEY CAME FOR ME...” (Image: The National WWII Museum, 2014.057.036_1.) Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party’s rise to power in Germany ushered in an era of attacks against people Hitler deemed undesirable. Jews living across Europe became the primary target of Nazi hatred and violence. Attacks against other groups of people—such as individuals with mental or physical disabilities, political prisoners, Romani, Soviet citizens and prisoners of war, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people, Slavs, and Jehovah’s Witnesses—also became a part of the Nazi program to “purify” German society. Those who did not fit within Nazi standards of a “master race” faced capture and horrific brutality in the attempted genocide now known as the Holocaust. From 1939 to 1941, the Nazis steadily took steps toward a formal policy of extermination. Known as the Final Solution, this policy spread to each region that fell under Nazi rule throughout World War II. Anti-Semitism had been present throughout Europe for centuries, peaking during times of upheaval, such as the Crusades or outbreaks of plague. This historical precedent perpetuated hateful stereotypes that again resurfaced in the era of upheaval that followed Germany’s defeat in World War I. While anti-Semitism had been limited to fringe political groups, the rising popularity of the Nazi Party helped promote ideas of segregating and removing the Jewish population from the region. While not all Germans actively supported the anti-Semitic attacks taken by the Nazis, many adopted an attitude of indifference toward the treatment of their Jewish neighbors.

  • The Boys of Terezin
    The Boys of Terezin Teacher Resource Package Prepared by: Susan Starkman, B.A., M.Ed Synopsis Country of Origin: United States Director: John Sharify Runtime: 52 minutes Themes: Holocaust, overcoming adversity, healing power of art, music and literature This uplifting documentary is testament to the way that the drive for creativity cannot be stifled, even under the most challenging conditions. Risking their lives, the teenage residents of Home One, a children’s concentration camp, created a magazine called VEDEM that chronicled their daily lives through essays, poems and pictures. The last boy to remain at Terezin buried all 800 pages, retrieving the manuscript after liberation. In 2010, Music of Remembrance commissioned Vedem, an oratorio based on the boys’ experiences, to be performed by the Seattle Boychoir. Included in this group, is Toronto’s George Brady, familiar to many as the brother of Hana Brady (Hana’s Suitcase). Curriculum Links The Boys of Terezin can be used to meet the requirements of the Media Studies component of English, Grades 7-12. It can also be used to meet the requirements of Grade 10 History (CHC2D), Grade 12 World History: The West and the World (CHY4U), and Grade 12 Adventures in World History (CHM4E).
