Parent Guide > Danish Resistance During the Holocaust
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Danish Resistance During the Holocaust" by Hans Holmskov Schlüter.
During the Holocaust, some people in German-controlled Denmark fought against the violent actions and policies put in place by the Nazi party.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Community, Honor & Courage, Revenge & Betrayal, and War & Peace as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What drives a person to betray?", "How are we changed by war?", "What does it mean to be brave?", and "What is the importance of community?"
