Internment by Samira Ahmed

This is so scary because it could be so real.  History can be repeated if we don't pay attention to the past.  This reminded me of my father who was a music teacher at Tule Lake during the 1940s when Japanese and Japanese -Americans were sent to internment camps.  He talked about how racism was such a problem and people did horrible things to a targeted group. 

Now is the time setting of Muslims sent to a camp.  If you take different times when a country, USA with both Native Americans and also with Japanese and then the Germans and the Russians when they targeted groups into camps and put the focus on various Muslims you have one intense story.

I'm getting this for my high school library.  This is a very important read.
