Parent Guide > Nazi Summer Camp
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 "Nazi Summer Camp" by Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich, from RadioLab.
In this transcription of the podcast, "Nazi Summer Camp", Reporter Karen Duffin discusses the lesser known Aliceville POW camp in Alabama, and the treatment of POWs in the United States at that time.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Justice, Freedom & Equality, Morality, and War & Peace as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"What is fair?", "What is good and how do we know?", and "How are we changed by war?"
