Antisemitism and the HolocaustMiddle School
Written By Rachel Charette

Recommended Ages: 10+

Written by Karen Gray Ruelle. Illustrated by Deborah Durland DeSaix.

This book details how Jewish people were sheltered by Muslims in the Grand Mosque of Paris and given aid, with safe passage, when the city was occupied by Nazis. It is particularly relevant given the persecution and oppression many marginalized groups are facing in today’s society.
