ebooks Livingstone: Revised and Expanded Edition by Tim Jeal in History

Description

This stirring collection of diaries written by young people; aged twelve to twenty-two years; during the Holocaust has been fully revised and updated. Some of the writers were refugees; others were in hiding or passing as non-Jews; some were imprisoned in ghettos; and nearly all perished before liberation. This seminal National Jewish Book Award winner preserves the impressions; emotions; and eyewitness reportage of young people whose accounts of daily events and often unexpected thoughts; ideas; and feelings serve to deepen and complicate our understanding of life during the Holocaust. The second paperback edition includes a new preface by Alexandra Zapruder examining the book’s history and impact. Simultaneously; a multimedia edition incorporates a wealth of new content in a variety of media; including photographs of the writers and their families; images of the original diaries; artwork made by the writers; historical documents; glossary terms; maps; survivor testimony (some available for the first time); and video of the author teaching key passages. In addition; an in-depth; interdisciplinary curriculum in history; literature; and writing developed by the author and a team of teachers; working in cooperation with the educational organization Facing History and Ourselves; is now available to support use of the book in middle- and high-school classrooms.
