- POLIO
- "NEVER AGAIN"
- NEVER AGAIN#We Remember
- THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK
- Julien walks with crutches because he had polio as a child. Polio is a contagious disease that weakens or paralyzes the legs. It wasn't until the 1950s that Jonas Salk developed a vaccine that prevents polio.
- Elie Wiesel (author, Holocaust survivor) said, "Never again' becomes more than a slogan: It's a prayer, a promise, a vow ... never again the glorification of base, ugly , dark violence." The phrase reminds us to be ever vigilant in the fight against racism, prejudice, and xenophobia to prevent future genocides.
- Anne Frank was an inspiration for White Bird. Anne was a young Jewish girl forced into hiding with her family during WWII. Her family perished in concentration camps, except for her father, who found Anne's diary after the war. It is a poignant account of their time in hiding.
- THE RESISTANCE
- WHITE BIRD ALLUSIONS
- CONCENTRATION CAMP
- THE BEAST OF GÉVAUDAN
- Throughout the Nazi occupation, there were people who resisted despite deadly consequences. The Jewish Resistance is mentioned when the La Fleurs help Rabbi Bernstein and his wife get to the Armee Juive, an organization established in 1942 to help Jews escape.
- Vive L'humanité!
- Concentration Camps were places where Nazis imprisoned millions of men, women, and children in harrowing conditions and forced them to do hard labor or killed them. Millions perished in the camps from starvation, disease, being shot, or in gas chambers created for genocide.
- The frightening wolf in Sara's dreams was based on an old French myth about the Beast of Gévaudan who is said to have attacked and killed over 100 people in the 1700s. It may have been the inspiration for such tales as Beauty and the Best, Little Red Riding Hood or the werewolf.
