Parent Guide > Liberation of Nazi Concentration Camps

by The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum 2016

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 "Liberation of Nazi Concentration Camps" by The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

"Liberation of Nazi Concentration Camps" discusses the atrocities of Nazi concentration camps, as well as the prisoners' eventual liberation.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Death, Prejudice & Discrimination, and War & Peace as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"What are the effects of prejudice?", "How do people face death?", and "How are we changed by war?"

Ways to support your child:

  • Ask your child about this informational text at home:
    • What was "Liberation of Nazi Concentration Camps" about?
    • What did you learn about Death?
    • What did you learn about Prejudice & Discrimination?
    • What did you learn about War & Peace?
  • Watch Liberation of Flossenburg Concentration Camp at home with your child.
