Neo and I have decided to embark on a ‘bedtime story routine’ that takes us into the world of history and adventure. These I Survived stories pull the younger reader into the world of history and some of the disasters that have occurred through time. In this story, Max and Zena are living in Poland during the Second World War. Their father encourages them to find courage to outlast the Nazi invasion. However, as they re Jews, their time in the city of Esties is anything but pleasant. After their father is torn away from them, Max and Zena are tossed into a ghetto to await their fate. Escaping and fleeing to the forest, Max and Zena try to stay one step ahead of the Nazis and find hope in a country that has been overrun with hatred. What follows is a story of courage and determination, as well as a chance to learn a little more about the Nazi occupation of Europe and the atrocities they committed. While Neo cannot fully understand the extent of the Nazis or Hitler, this was a great way to introduce him to the topic. He asked some poignant questions and wondered about learning more when he is older. He seems to love this series and so we will find more survival stories to keep him learning!
