Hiding in the filth of a sewer, as a child, to avoid capture by Nazi soldiers—sounds scary! Scholars investigate the youngest victims of the Holocaust, the children. They research video clips and written sources from the Holocaust Reading Passages to uncover life in hiding during World War II. Using the information, they construct a written response to being a child in one of the most horrific circumstances in history.
