Publisher's Synopsis
An idealistic 23-year-old English teacher at Wilson High School, Long Beach, California confronted a room of unteachable, at-risk' students. One day she intercepted a note with an ugly racial caricature and angrily declared that this was precisely the sort of thing that led to the Holocaust - only to be met by uncomprehending looks. So, she and her students, with The Diary of Anne Frank as their guides, undertook a life-changing odyssey against ignorance and misunderstanding and learned to see the parallels in these books to their own lives.'
