Period L1, Step One

For your web quest, you will investigate four important topics central to The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne. In this book, you will experience the Holocaust through the eyes of a young boy, though the content (what happens) in the book is not for the young. It needs to be read with respect for the millions of people who died during the Holocaust.

So, before we begin this terrific story, we need to learn about four topics.
Children during the Holocaust
Adolf Hitler
The Nazi Party
Auschwitz

Step one in our quest (journey) is to take twenty minutes, working with your group members, to investigate all four topics listed above. Use the links below to conduct your web-based investigation.
