International Holocaust Remembrance Day

In 2005, the UN General Assembly designated January 27th as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The date corresponds with the anniversary of the Soviet army's liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp complex in 1945.

The anniversary presents teachers with an opportunity to focus a lesson on the Holocaust, its causes, and its pertinence to contemporary affairs. Enslow Publishers' excellent new Holocaust series -- "True Stories of Teens in the Holocaust" -- provides revealing primary souce material that's woven into clear, well-written narratives. The teen voices emerging from these texts deliver powerful, personal testimony about the Holocaust and its impact on young and old alike.

Enslow also offers biographies of people who defied Nazi racism and hatred. One of those figures was Jesse Owens, the African-American track star whose 1936 Berlin Olympics victories were widely viewed as a triumph over Nazism's racist ideology. Enslow's new biography of Owens, written by NAACP Image Award nominee Jeff Burlingame, explores the athlete's participation in the Olympics, as well as Owens' legacy on and off the track.

Add these and other content-rich Enslow titles to your library's collection today!
