In her award wining, nonfiction book, Bartoletti tells the true stories of the youth in Germany during Adolph Hitler's regime and World War II. Her focus is the young people that were exploited by Hitler to create a strong military. Bartoletti utilizes books, diaries, letters, photographs, and interviews of survivors to explain history through the eyes of the youth who were there. She tells how they felt about their lives, school, Hitler, and the war. Not only does she explain why some children chose to follow Hitler, but also why some resisted. Bartoletti personalizes the war by following the lives of these children, making it a great addition to a study on World War II, racism, conformity, and peer pressure. It would be a excellent nonfiction book to pair with Lois Lowry's Number the Stars or The Diary of Anne Frank.
