"Superb, sensitive, honest and compelling . . . a simple but terrifying tale of the destruction of a single Jewish family."--The New York TimesWinner of the Mildred L. Batchelder AwardHis best friend thought Friedrich was lucky. His family had a good home and enough money, and in Germany in the early 1930s, many were unemployed. But when Hitler came to power, things began to change. Friedrich was expelled from school, and then his mother died and his father was deported. For Friedrich was Jewish.

In considering what other book about the Holocaust (besides Anne Frank's DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL) to have my eighth-grade students read this year, I am considering FRIEDRICH as it offers something new to the mix that I consider thought-provoking: what was it like to be swept up into the Nazi party as a child, thinking that the initial get-togethers with other kids were fun!DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL is light-years ahead of FRIEDRICH in writing style, emotional depth, and the overwhelming intricacies of what it is like to watch someone mature. It is also non-fiction, very much from a girl's perspective, and is a slowly evolving story that deals with Jews in hiding -- the story becomes more about the internal world of Anne Frank than external world of the Nazis; FRIEDRICH offers something different.I think the most affecting aspect of FRIEDRICH is the slow development of the horror of the Third Reich. At first, both boys (Friedrich and the narrator) think being a member of the Jungvolk is great, but over time comes the slow realization that the world is not all fun and games. In fact, when the narrator joins the mob destroying a Jewish school, he doesn't share the political will, but simply enjoys the idea of smashing things -- the internalization of what he's doing doesn't really enter the picture until he sees the same mob enter Friedrich's apartment and do the same thing.This unique, horrifying de-evolution of civility is presented very simply; so simple that the reading level of FREIDRICH is probably fifth- or sixth-grade. However, I have read many children's/young adult books that are told simply, but convey much deeper meaning, and deserve a careful analysis.
