The Butterfly | Patricia Polacco

In the classroom, this book can serve as a powerful introduction to discussions about empathy, courage, and historical events like World War II and the Holocaust. It also supports teaching about diversity and the impact of individuals standing up for what‘s right.

This book was published in 2000, and is a historical fiction picture book. The story, set during World War II, follows a young French girl named Monique who discovers her mother is hiding a Jewish girl named Sevrine in their basement. The book explores themes of friendship, bravery, and the impact of war on children.

I read this book after I read Newshawks in Berlin. Hitlerland is, of course, Nazi Germany. This book shows us a picture of the rise of Adolph Hitler as seen through the eyes of various Americans living and working in Berlin. Some thought Hitler wasn‘t dangerous and his movement wouldn‘t last, especially after he was arrested and sent to prison. Quite an informative book if history is your interest. Five stars

A teacher, community leader, and respected doctor, 60 yo Janusz Korczas runs an orphanage. He and his team desperately try to save the children from disease, starvation and Nazi persecution in 1939 Poland. Tender, philosophical, authentic 💔

Fascinating premise, but the execution was clunky - dialogue heavy instead of actually showing events, which made it seem longer than it was. Still fascinating considering it was published in 1937. In this envisioned future world domination is split between Nazi Germany and Imperialist Japan. Women are treated as cattle, good only for bearing children. Homosexuality among men is the norm and Hitler is worshipped as 7 foot tall, blond Aryan god.

vivastory That's interesting that world domination is split between Japan & Germany. That's the set-up for Man In The High Castle 8mo
Ruthiella @vivastory Yes, the premises is interesting and maybe a logical alternative conclusion, but she takes it in a very different direction than PKD. 8mo
Dilara The women as cattle and homosexuality as the norm are also prominent themes in Katharine Burdekin's Swastika Night. In fact, at first, I thought that was the book you had read! 8mo
Ruthiella @Dilara It‘s the same author/book. Murray Constantine was Burdekin‘s pen name. 😃 8mo
Dilara @Ruthiella Ah that explains it 😅 8mo

This story is based on untold historical events inside the Lebensborn Society maternity homes that existed during WWII. They had a "Program" to ensure that the German race is preserved and raised by good German families. Three women find themselves in precarious situations while trying to protect themselves and their unborn baby.

10 years later, I‘m finished thanks to the audible version. The 1st part was interesting & scary, the 2nd part went really into the weeds and into horrors, the 3rd part was kind of confusing. There is a lot of bureaucracy & a lot of horrible things described, but it‘s very important to see that these evil people aren‘t masterminds, and to know it can happen again. The author met some of the Nazis as a journalist and that was interesting.
3/5 stars
