  • TEACHING GUIDE the Number on My Father's Arm / El Número En El Brazo De Papá
    TEACHING GUIDE The Number on My Father’s Arm / El número en el brazo de papá By Rodolfo Alvarado Spanish translation by Gabriela Baeza Ventura ABOUT THE BOOK Genre: Middle Grade and Young Adult Fiction Trade Paperback Bilingual Flip Book: English and Spanish ISBN: 978-1-55885-901-2 168 pages 5 ½ x 8 ½ SUMMARY A young boy seeks to unravel the mystery of his father’s nightmares and the number tattooed on his arm in this short bilingual novel that will acquaint readers ages 10-15 with the Holocaust and the expulsion of Mexicans and Mexican Americans from the United States in the early part of the twentieth century. VOCABULARY The Number on My Father’s Arm / El número en el brazo de papá is a bilingual “flip” book that in- cludes the English and Spanish versions in the same book. This unique format makes this book ideal for English- or Spanish-speaking classrooms, as well as ELL or ESL groups. 1 TEACHING GUIDE Book Synopsis All his life, young Tomás has overheard and been terrified by his father’s nightmares, but Papi never explains his cries and screams. Even Mami doesn’t know why he has bad dreams. Later, Tomás learns his father was a medic in World War II and his best friend died in his arms. The boy wonders if that experience could be the reason for his nighttime terrors. In school, Tomás learns about the Holocaust and sees photographs of Jewish prisoners with numbers on their arms. He is shocked because his father has a similar tattoo! Could his father be a concentration camp survivor? Why won’t Papi tell his family about his experiences? As he tries to unravel the mystery of his father’s nightmares and tattoo, Tomás finds out his father—along with his parents—was put on a train many years earlier and deported from Los Angeles to Mexico.

  • Dear Editor NYT: Since Reading the Obituary of Anthony Acevedo, Who
    Dear Editor NYT: Since reading the obituary of Anthony Acevedo, who died at age 93 on Feb 11, 2018 (NYT March 16), I knew I had to find a way to tell his remarkable story of bravery and suffering rape, torture and starvation in the “Berga camp, a part of the Buchenwald complex”; and to leave a written record for posterity of the suffering he and hundreds of other prisoners suffered. His diary, which he hid at obvious risk of immediately being shot if discovered, survived. He bequeathed it in 2010 to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC.” Mr. Acevedo appears to be the first Mexican- American registered in the museum’s database. He served in the US Army as a medic during the Battle of the Bulge. Born in California, July 1924, he attended a segregated school until he was thirteen. His father was an engineer, his mother a homemaker who died when he was two years old. When his father and stepmother were deported because they lacked the proper immigration papers, Anthony and his five siblings left for the state of Durango, Mexico, where his father had found success as the director of public works. When war broke out, Anthony, a DACA child before there was such a term, was recruited to serve in he Army. He was welcomed across the border without visa, and even if his motive was partially to get away from his allegedly abusive father, he volunteered to serve the country of his birth (as so many DACA youths today have served in our wars now only to be caught in the grips or our partisan politics, ironically to fund a wall to keep undocumented Mexicans out).

  • American Witnesses Audio Testimony Transcripts
    Testimony Introduction 508.784.1945 Welcome to American Witnesses, an exhibition created by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. You are about to hear the words of American men and women of the US military who encountered the Nazi concentration camps at the end of World War II, as well as those of Holocaust survivors who were liberated by US troops. There are several testimonies to choose from. You may listen to any number of them, in any order. Look for the symbol that indicates an audio testimony. When you are ready to begin, enter the number of the testimony you want to listen to. Created March 2020 US Army Infantryman Private Hilbert Margol 42nd Infantry Division 508.784.1945 Testimony 1 In the last days of the war, the SS evacuated prisoners from Buchenwald to Dachau by train. Many of the nearly 4,500 prisoners died on that several-week journey. Hilbert Margol describes how he and his twin brother, Howard, came across the so-called “death train” at Dachau. This is his recollection. So we get orders to pull off to the right side of the road. We all smelled this very distinct odor, very strong odor. One of our jeep drivers came by and he said, “On the other side of those woods, it must be a chemi- cal factory over there.” Well, Howard heard that and he came over to me, and he said, “I don’t think it’s a chemical factory.” And he said, you know, that odor reminded him of when our mother used to go to the kosher meat market to buy a freshly killed chicken.

  • Mexican-American Soldiers of WWII and the Creation of the G.I
    The Forgotten Soldiers: Mexican-American Soldiers of WWII and the Creation of the G.I. Forum By Niko Arredondo I | Introduction y time in the military was the greatest time of my life, I am very proud and I would do it as many times necessary.” Virgilio G. Roel, a Mexican-American “M WWII veteran stated in his interview with the Voces Oral History project.1 The 1940s brought a time of great opportunity for Mexican-Americans with the onset of the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Before the war, Mexican-Americans lived under racial tension with segregated communities, segregated schools and not many held respected professions such as lawyers and doctors. For Roel and other Mexican American soldiers this opportunity to fight for a nation that treated them as second class citizens became the beginning of a social change for Mexican-Americans. As Raul Morin, a WWII Mexican-American war veteran mentioned in his book, Among The Valiant, “here now was the opportunity to do something about it.”2 The integration of Mexican-American and white soldiers took effect with the Executive Order 8066 that passed in June of 1941. This posed questions like: how did the experience for Mexican-Americans with white soldiers differ from their experience in America? What postwar impacts did it have for Mexican Americans? Their experience during the war was unique, in the sense that they integrated with white soldiers unlike African-American soldiers that were placed in segregated units. To Mexican-Americans WWII veterans, the war offered an opportunity to demonstrate their allegiance to their nation.
