The Untold Story of Jewish Resistance During the Holocaust

Beyond Courage

Recounts the efforts of Jews who organized others and sabotaged the Nazis during the Holocaust, including Georges Loinger who smuggled children from occupied France into Switzerland and four brothers who led refugees into the forest to build a village and an army.

Amanda Kordeliski

A great nonfiction title about little known stories of Jewish resistance fighters during the Holocaust. The book is divided into 5 parts and could easily be chunked into smaller reading sections to use in class. Pair with the fiction series Once by Morris Gleitzman, the Resistance graphic novel trilogy or Maus by Art Speigleman, the short nonfiction title Terezin: Voices of the Holocaust or the free verse biography His Name was Raoul Wallenberg for compelling and personal reads for students to understand the Holocaust.
