Hitler Youth

Bartoletti, S. C. (2005). Hitler Youth: Growing up in Hitler's shadow. New York: Scholastic Nonfiction.

In this nonfiction children's book Bartoletti writes about the youth organisation of the Nazis and how the youth were made to idolize Hitler and the roles and positions they possessed during the Third Reich. This book is so informative and chilling it explains how these German youth were taken advantage and were manipulated due to their youth and hope for change,thus also promoting ant-semitism. Hitler's hope was that they'd all fall under a spell of National Socialism in order for the Final Solution to be possible. The photos are stiking,yet chilling to the bone. This book is perfect for upper elementary grade levels to middle and even high school grades as they delve into the historical account of the Holocaust.
