[aisle] Judaic books on diversity / diverse topics

[Monica Fumarolo]

The Assignment by Liza Wiemer is a MUST for any middle school and high
school fiction section. It's a fictionalized account of something that
actually happened in upstate New York when students were told that for a
class project, they had to argue in favor of Hitler's "Final Solution." My
6th graders haven't been hugely into it, but my 7th and 8th graders give it
rave reviews. She's based in the Milwaukee area, and loves doing author
visits, too!
