While reading the Anne Frank article, I recalled my experiences with third graders learning about Martin Luther King, and social inequality in the US in the 60s. Students had difficulty wrapping their minds around the inequities faced by people in minorities in America in that time period. I congratulate secondary history teachers who attempt to convey to their students the sentiment of a time that is not theirs.
I wonder if the naivete of Anne’s remarks in her diary is a big part of what helps to keep the book at high levels of popularity. It is easier for the general population to accept. Sixty years later, there are those who still publicly denounce the Holocaust ever occurring…

You are so right Connie - thanks for the great comments. The truth, at least for me, is that none of us can truly understand any other person’s experience - particularly when that experience is riddled with trauma and tragedy. This is one reason why I worry about our focus on getting students to make “connections” instead of opening up our discussions and learning with the “disconnections” that are so obvious and can lead to productive, provocative lessons.
Thanks for stopping by! Let us know what else is going on with you in your brilliant teaching life…
