High school students should learn what happened to the hostages

A thinking person’s first impulse when he’s read a great book is to tell other people about it. In my case, I tell my wife, my children, and my good friends. “Read this.” I’ve been known to go on Amazon and order a bunch of copies.

I’ve just read a book that makes me want to go much further than that. I don’t just want to tell my loved ones to read it: I want to tell the world. At the very least, I’d like every high school student in this country to read it, for it teaches heartrending lessons on justice and injustice, and on the horrors of which antisemitism is capable when it is unleashed and allowed to run wild.
