Hitler Youth

                                                       Bartoletti, S. (2005). Hitler youth. NY: Scholastic.

Adolf Hitler had a strong influence over the young people in Germany in the 1930's and 1940's. Hitler's promises brainwashed many young people into committing horrible acts of crime towards Jewish and non-Jewish people. A few brave citizens banned together to exploit Hitler, but they were immediately silenced. World War II came to an end and Hitler committed suicide.

Bartoletti's use of photographs allows the reader to take a closer look into history. The level of accuracy in this book is important to educate society about the terrible acts of crime that took place back in history. These accounts are important  to prevent something like that from ever happening again. The information can be used in the classroom to discuss several historical events that led up to World War II. Received the Newbery Honor and Orbis Pictus Honor award in 2006 and here is a link to the book trailer: https://www.schooltube.com/video/3b981d5ee19b4e119b34/
