Do you think this is too intense for 8th graders (13-14 years old)? I'm doing a Unit on the nature of forgiveness and I found a couple great lesson plans geared towards 8th grade, but once I read the book I thought it might be too much - specifically the part where the dying officer tells his horrible story. Last year I read The Hunger Games with my 8th grade, but I feel like this is more graphic. I just don't know.

Pamela Stadden 14 year old students seem to be very mature these days. Try it with one class, then if it does not work out, you will adapt the lesson for next time.

I am currently reading a book on grace by Phillip Yancey. He cites this book and the question Wiesenthal asks concerning forgiveness. I am familiar with Wiesenthal but have never read anything by him. Here are my questions: Is this a well-written book? Is there a better book by Wiesenthal that I should read first?
