Auschwitz and
The Jungle
required reading in HS.
As you can see, I don't read many political books.
We also read Johnny Got His Gun, 1984, Brave New World and Animal Farm, but Auschwitz was like OMG! And so was The Jungle.
I was a sophomore when I read Auschwitz. My previous knowledge of Nazis was mostly from Hogan's Heroes.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
