魔鬼的算术

13岁的汉娜·斯特恩是一个生活在纽约的现代犹太女孩，她不理解她的遗产的重要性，她的祖父对任何提及大屠杀的反应都让她感到尴尬。她告诉母亲，现在已经没有集中营了，那还记得有什么意义呢?在逾越节家宴期间，汉娜被邀请为先知以利亚打开公寓的门……穿越回1942年左右的波兰。当纳粹袭击她发现自己所在的犹太村庄时，汉娜知道他们在做什么，但没有人会听。汉娜被迫忍受集中营的生活。在她的旅程中，汉娜学习了关于她的遗产、外表与现实、记忆等等的宝贵经验。她的成长和成熟将激励读者，尤其是在书的结尾。其他角色一路指导着汉娜，表现出巨大的勇气和牺牲精神。村里的拉比提醒他的教众，他们掌握在上帝的手中。汉娜承诺，一旦她从时间旅行回来，就会记住大屠杀。 Of course, the major issue here lies in the Nazis' treatment of Jewish inmates. It's actually far less graphic than it could be, but abuse is still quite prevalent. Readers get a full picture of dehumanizing procedures such as forced stripping, tattooing, and hair-shaving. Prisoners are continually physically abused, and some are hung as the result of a failed escape attempt. A guard carries a child into gas chambers. Other prisoners, including a three-year-old, die from malnutrition and disease. If your children are ready to navigate these, consider holding a discussion after they read the book. You will find plenty of great fodder.
