Family/School/Community The Assignment

High school seniors are assigned to reenact the Wannsee Conference, where the so-called Final Solution for European Jews was debated. Students protest the assignment, and their response throws the wider community into turmoil. Inspired by a real-life incident, the novel examines the effects of discrimination and antisemitism through a school exercise about a historical event. The conflict places students, their school, and their community in a charged debate over the assignment and its consequences.
