Today is Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day. Especially now, in light of last week’s terrible murder at Chabad of Poway in Southern California and the horrific mass murders last fall at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, along with “near historic levels” of anti-Semitic incidents reported in the U.S., we must never forget. Here are some helpful booklists and resources from The Horn Book:
- “Bearing witness” by Kitty Flynn
- “Love Your Neighbor” booklist series from the Association of Jewish Libraries by Elissa Gershowitz
- Hazel Rochman’s 2006 article from our What Makes a Good… series: “Beyond Oral History: What Makes a Good Holocaust Book?”
- A Holocaust booklist, compiled for Holocaust Remembrance Day, updated in April 2018
- A booklist featuring picture books that celebrate the accomplishments of Jewish women
- Emily Schneider’s recent appreciation of the work of Jewish publishers, “Jewish Books, Jewish Families”
For more books for children and teens “that authentically portray the Jewish experience” — across a wide range of aspects, including the Holocaust — see the Association of Jewish Libraries’ Sydney Taylor Book Awards winners list and especially its “Love Your Neighbor” booklist series: List #1 Standing Up for Each Other List #2 Synagogues, Clergy, and Jewish Ritual List #3 The American Jewish Experience List #4 Let’s Be Friends
