A few days ago we received the books we ordered from Scholastic. Every month there are 'book orders' where you can order books. Usually we ignore them and don't pick them up, but when we were told there was Holocaust literature our ears perked up.
April is Holocaust rememberance month. The books we ordered were less expensive, so we purchased the following four books:
10 Days: Anne Frank by David Colbert.
The Girl Who Survived by Bronia Brandman and Carol Bierman
The Anne Frank Case by Susan Goldman Rubin
Terezin: Voices From The Holocuast by Ruth Thomson
We haven't gotten a chance to read them yet, but we're hoping that these books will gives us leads and hints for our journey.
In Other News:
We talked to someone about creating a website and have been given ideas. However, it's much more difficult designing it than we thought it would be.
Sincerely,

About Us
The Chai Project, created by two Middle School students, is a project and documentary film that shows what happens when hate controls us, using the Holocaust as a prime example.
The word Chai is Hebrew meaning 'life'. This project also shows that life is the only thing and most valuable thing there is. Everything is about life-art, music, books-everything. That is why the loss of a life, especially when taken by another human being, is the ultimate tragedy.
We want to spread the message of tolerance and acceptance. This is our journey. We aren't trying to save the world-for no one can. We are trying to change the world though. We will change it.
Sincerely,
Hannah and Krissy
