This term (term 1) for reading my reading group the Mogs read a novel Called The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, in groups of three or four answer questions and did activities on a wequest. I learned a lot about the Holocaust when I read this book and doing the webquest because the book was set in world war 2. I learned about groups called The League of young German Maidens/girls and Hitler Youth. Because there is a young girl named Gretel who is twelve years old and I answered a question on the webquest and had to read about the organization. I also learned about what happened in the concentration camps and why the holocaust happened. I found a lot of the information very interesting, some of the information I learned was disgusting to hear and read about what happened to people at the concentration camps. We asked a teacher in Poland about what her students thought a bout the concentration camp Stutthof when they went their on a school trip. Most of the students found it shocking when they learned about the way the prisoners were treated and murdered.
