"Ms. Bryant, what if Hitler had won the war?" In all my years of teaching this is the question that is most commonly asked by my 7th graders. In my social studies class I often try to bring history to life. By either dressing up as Marie Antoinette and passing out cake to the nobles, creating student made replicas of trench warfare during WW1, or staging a simulation of the Cuban Missile Crisis, it is easy to re-enact what has already happened. However, it is less easy to answer the "What If" questions.
"The Only Thing to Fear" captures the answer to the often asked: "What if Hitler would have won World War II, what would the world look like?"
Caroline Richmond uses historical facts and merges it so well with historical fiction to take the reader on a journey through an alternate reality. Forcing the reader to analyze the importance of the decisions that were made during World War II that led to an Allied victory, while taking a glimpse at a history that could have been.
I believe it is important to not only just teach the students what happened in the past but what could have also been our future. The yoga mats also give the students a preferred seating choice as they prepare to have a very difficult, but often asked question finally answered.
