D. Suggested Reading List

Congratulations on your being accepted as a participant on the March of the Living.

In January you will be receiving the first of a three-part HOME STUDY GUIDE for the March. The HOME STUDY GUIDE will help you to better understand the March and make it more meaningful to you. It will not teach you enough about the Holocaust and Israel to suggest that you can "get by" with just reading the Study Guide!

We strongly suggest that you read as much as you can about the Holocaust and Israel before you receive the Study Guide.

Nothing we suggest to read can take the place of courses on both the Holocaust and on Israel. We hope that you will look into this in your community and try to sign up for one of the above.

To help you we have sent you a "Suggested Reading List". This list was prepared by teens and advisors who participated in the previous Marches, and represents their recommendations based on their shared experiences.

Read as much as you can - at least one book from each category. The important thing is to READ!

What will happen if you don't read? Honestly, we think you don't want to know . . .

Where can you get these books? Some ideas:

1. Purchase them. You should begin to build your own personal library.

2. Borrow from a library: public, public school, day school, synagogue religious school, university, Holocaust Center, etc.

3. Borrow from a friend, Rabbi, teacher, youth leader.

4. Share the books with other Marchers, maybe you buy a couple and they buy a couple.

The March of the Living will be one of the most exciting and memorable experiences of your life. It has been just that for over 10,000 teens. Reading will heighten the experience.
