For non-fiction, have you checked out Tolerance.org? And the Holocaust museum in Washington DC has a website with a ton of primary source information.

Subject: [CASL-L] nonfiction reading about upstanders
 
Hello All,
I've been asked by my seventh grade social studies teachers to create a list of nonfiction articles, short stories or books about individuals standing up against all forms of injustice. The main focus will be on the Holocaust for the end of their Europe unit and civil rights activists for black history month but can also include others. The resources can be in print or digital. 

I do have some books in our library but can anyone recommend any books, articles or short story collections? They should be appropriate for 7th grade. 

Thank you
Kim
