What educators are saying

This was a perfect resource! I used this in my 9-12 ELA cross categorical resource room. It was exactly as the preview stated - and was exactly what I was looking for!
This was an excellent intro for my Holocaust mini-unit, which leads up to our high school department trip to the Holocaust museum. Thank you!
