After the War: From Auschwitz to Ambleside (Conkers)

Product Information

At the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, Allied leaders stated their desire to build a post-war world that would safeguard itself against future conflicts of such a devastating scale.

As the Soviet Army advanced from the east, the Nazis transported prisoners away from the front and deep into Germany. Some prisoners were taken from the camps by train, but most were force-marched hundreds of miles, often in freezing weather and without proper clothing or shoes. Over the course of these death marches, which sometimes lasted weeks, tens of thousands of people died from cold or hunger, or were shot because they could not keep up. Out of all the books I have read to pupils over my 15 years as a librarian I can confidently say this book both silences a class whilst creating so many thoughtful comments and questions.” Hayley Stallard, Mayville High School Because mighty Russia supported Serbia, Austria-Hungary waited to declare war until its leaders received assurance from German leader Kaiser Wilhelm II that Germany would support their cause.

I would definitely recommend this book to othersbecause it teaches you a lot about the war and things that happened in places we know. It doesn’t just teach you - its fun to read because you don’t know what’s coming next and it really builds suspense. Within the sources on which this chart draws, the region of the conflict has been coded in quite a particular way, relating to the source’s methodology for identifying and distinguishing conflicts. In most instances, the region attributed to the conflict will be the same region as where the fighting took place. But in some cases it refers to the region where the armed forces fighting in the conflict have come from. 1 Paper dolls. Work as a family to decorate paper dolls of the children.

It is based in the English Lake District.Information for Grown-Ups: This book has a super-readable layout and typeface so that even more readers can enjoy it. It is aimed at children aged 9+ I’ve just read your book and I loved it. I’m second generation and my father was one of the Boys who went to Windermere. I’m currently writing a presentation for ages 13 plus and will definitely recommend your book. I thought how you portrayed the children was spot on especially how they kept being reminded of what they had witnessed and lost. I found it very moving. I look forward to sharing it with my grandchildren when they are older. Congratulations” M Turgel The UCDP state-based and Correlates of War series do not include such events. It is for this reason that they do not show the jump in 1994 that marks the Rwandan genocide. Across the various sources there three broad kinds of violent event distinguished: state-based conflict, non-state conflict and one-sided violence. The kind of event depends on the type of actors involved. State-based conflict is that involving at least one state-actor, and includes conflicts between states (“inter-state” conflicts) and those between a state and non-state actor (“extra-state” conflicts), such as civil wars or colonial wars. I’m a big fan of history and read a lot of historical fiction. This book had an interesting and unusual focus because it is about what happened after the war, not during it. I learnt all about the work of the Red Cross, reuniting children from the concentration camps.
