Re: [ha-Safran]: Holocaust Books for children

[Barbara Mende]

Yes, I've noticed that; I think it's true in adult literature too 
these days (e.g., Sarah's Key).  I imagine people think that if they 
make the Holocaust more mainstream, it'll appeal to more 
non-Jews.  Nice thought but. . . .

How can something written at the time the events occurred be 
old-fashioned?  Do they want the forties to come off like this 
century?  Old-fashioned?  What can be more real and authentic?

I like the Book Thief and perhaps it's gentler because it deals 
mainly with survival, but is gentle what we want here?  Agree that 
despite its young teen heroine and its appearance on young adult book 
lists, it's not a young adult book.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Holocaust Books for children

[Emily Bergman]

I'm pretty appalled by this.  As much as I loved reading The Book Thief,
for example, this is not a book to introduce the Holocaust to students.
It's a very complicated concept to feel sympathy for the Germans while
knowing what was going on.  I think the analogy to Gone with the Wind is
apt.  I don't understand why Diary of a Young Girl would no longer be
interesting, especially with the understanding that it recounts the real
experiences of a girl living through the experience.  I think that if
students only read one book, it's better to read a real story rather
than fiction.  Finally, people all over the world read Anne Frank; why
shouldn't our students.  For example, when I have had Japanese exchange
students living with us, they had all read Diary of a Young Girl.  I
think American students would be missing a piece of a literary canon if
they don't read it.

RE: [ha-Safran]: Holocaust Books for children

[Johnson, Naomi]

I wonder if anyone else out there sees the positive side of having
students read the "Boy in the Striped Pyjamas".  Please enlighten those
of us who find it is a  horrible and maybe damaging item for people to
read or see.

How this movie and book has swept the nation is beyond me.  I agree with
Emily and wonder how anyone could  think it is a "good" account of what
happened.  It is so unrealistic and bizarre and I think it gives people
a very skewed vision of what it was like during that time.

I wish there was something we can do to open people's eyes to this
ridiculous view of a fictitious and impossible adventure.

However, I would like to be convinced otherwise, so if anyone has some
ideas of how this book can enhance one's view of the Holocaust, please
share.


Naomi

Re: [ha-Safran]: Reading programs/accelerated reader

[books2gogh]

I'm in public schools these days and Accelerated Reader is a major 
player in our school for promoting reading and evaluating student 
performance.  Renaissance Learning now has an online version and more 
and more schools will be using the online version as we will very 
shortly.  All the tests will be available; schools will not longer 
have to buy individual tests.  If your students use AR in their 
schools and are online, labeling the books would be a great way to 
promote Judaic reading.  Instead of or in addition to the label, you 
may want to have a link to the quiz store to see which books have a 
quiz available and point value.  Our school uses Destiny and the link 
is on our home page.  Students also want to know how many points each 
book is worth so be sure to include that information as well inside 
the book.   Here is the link:  http://www.renlearn.com/store/quiz_home.asp

I've checked RAMBI, JSTOR, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Scholar,
and Prof. Rubenstein's webpage at NYU.  I couldn't locate the article.
  I did, however, find his CV, which had this citation:

Re: [ha-Safran]: Reading programs/accelerated reader

[KPeter3434]

Hi Andrea,
You're  absolutely right about schools not having quizzes.  Before I
embarked on  this, I checked with the librarian at my local 
elementary school, who
checked  with the other librarians in the school district.  Apparently most
schools  no longer purchase individual quizzes, but pay a fee for computer
access to all  the quizzes the A.R. company has and merely access them via
computer.  So,  even if a child's school library doesn't have a book that's
in our synagogue  library, as long as it's an A.R. book and there's a quiz,
they should be able to  access the quiz from their elementary school's
library.

[ha-Safran]: Another important history volume

[Fredisaac]

All --

This is a wonderful year for local Jewish History.

Yesterday, I picked up Fred Rosenbaum's "Cosmopolitans", a history of 
the Jewish community of San Francisco and the Bay Area.  Published by 
the University of California Press.  It has just been released.  The 
price is $40.

Obviously, I haven't read it yet.  But the Introduction indicates 
that the book covers the century from the Gold Rush to the foundation 
of Israel, and should be considered by all libraries.

Fred is the founder of Lehrhaus, the Bay Area's Adult Education 
provider.  His previous volumes include the history of Temple 
Emanu-El in San Francisco (the expanded edition was published a few 
years ago), and a (now out-of-print) history of the East Bay Jewish 
community, published in 1976.  (I have updated that story into 2009 
in my volume for Arcadia, which was released in July).

This follows the excellent volume on Temple Israel of Boston, 
released by Brandeis UP .

I'm looking forward to reading the book, obviously.  but I wanted to 
inform those who are interested that it's now available.


Fred Isaac
