This entire series is a wonderful way to learn history or teach it to adolescents. I find today's generations seem to recall more when they learn through other people (pop songs, celebrity gossip, etc.), so what better way to teach history than through someone else's perspective? Yes, "authentic" diaries would be "better", but would the language really hold the modern student's attention? Did the diary writer know what WOULD be important in the context of history? Probably not. This is history told from the point of view of a 14 year-old who helped in the French war efforts under German occupation. Simply written, it captures well the tone of times: the bewilderment, the fear, the anger and the frustration. It has a look as well at all the unsung heros: ordinary people who rallied to change the course of the war by making small but meaningful gestures, acts of resistance plotted with intelligence and courage. The attention to detail makes these stories lively and engrossing, a great way to learn about all that the war entailed. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Paul Lelaud France 1942-1944 I couldn't see the four fires, but I could smell them, the scent of burning paraffin and wood coming thickly in waves of smoke across the field. My heart started thumping again. Surely if we could smell the fires, others could as well. A German patrol would smell them for sure! Then I was aware of a large shape looming up in the night sky, its wings wide. It was the biggest thing I had ever seen. There were no lights showing on it. Down, down, down it came, lower and lower. I could hear the sound of its engine slowing and I thought with alarm, "If it goes any slower it will crash in the field, and what will we do then?" Paul Leland is a 13-year-old boy living in rural France. He has been living under Nazi occupation since 1940. Working with the Resistance cell in his village, Paul is a crucial figure in the 'escape route' for allied POWs and agents. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
