If you'd been alive when Hitler was pouring out his evil, would you have done anything to resist? Although just a teen, Helmuth Hubener had the moral conviction to do so. This historical fiction novel by Susan Campbell Bartoletti tells of the story of one boy's attempt to make a difference under impossible circumstances. ReadThe Boy Who Dared for an insightful and inspiring story.

For a fascinating nonfiction read that covers young people that supported and young people that opposed Hitler read Ms. Bartoletti's Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler's Shadow. While researching this book, she became intrigued by Helmuth's story and felt compelled to write The Boy Who Dared.
