      This is how history should be told to kids--with photos, illustrations, and captivating storytelling. From Newbery Honor medalist Susan Campbell Bartoletti and in time to celebrate the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in America comes the page-turning, stunningly illustrated, and tirelessly researched story of the little-known DC Women's March of 1913. Bartoletti spins a story like few others--deftly taking readers by the hand and introducing them to suffragists Alice Paul and Lucy Burns. Paul and Burns met in a London jail and fought their way through hunger strikes, jail time, and much more to win a long, difficult victory for America and its women. Includes extensive back matter and dozens of archival images to evoke the time period between 1909 and 1920.

    • Was bedeutete es, jung zu sein im Nationalsozialismus? Anhand von Tagebüchern und Briefen, vor allem aber Gesprächen mit Zeitzeugen, zeichnet Susan Campbell Bartoletti ein facettenreiches Bild der deutschen Jugend vom Beginn der Dreißigerjahre bis zum Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges. Ehemalige Mitglieder der Hitlerjugend berichten von der Faszination des Gemeinschaftslebens, aber auch von ihren Ängsten und dem Zusammenbruch ihres Weltbildes am Ende des Krieges. Gleichzeitig kommen jene zu Wort, die ausgeschlossen waren, die sich dem Führungsanspruch der Nationalsozialisten verweigerten und brutal verfolgt wurden - Jugendliche jüdischer Herkunft, die sogenannten Swingjugendlichen oder die Mitglieder aus der Widerstandsgruppe der Weißen Rose. Durch die Schilderungen der Einzelschicksale gelingt es Bartoletti, ihre Leser behutsam in das Thema einzuführen und die Lektüre ihres Buches zu einem aufrüttelnden Erlebnis zu machen.
