Do you have books about the Holocaust?
The PJ Our Way policy on Holocaust-related content is guided by the view of The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, which notes that an introduction to the Holocaust is suitable subject matter for children in 4th grade and up. After careful consideration and research, PJ Our Way further updated its policy on the appearance of Holocaust content in selected books in 2025. In line with mainstream education experts and specialist Holocaust educators, PJ Our Way now offers a range of books about the Holocaust, such as resistance stories and narratives that may include potentially challenging descriptions of antisemitism, oppression, concentration camps, and the death of characters. Any such material is highlighted on the Parent Guide for each book, under the section marked Content Advisory.
Our policy of offering positive Jewish content remains at the heart of PJ Our Way’s mission, and books with Holocaust content will continue to be in the minority of our offerings. We are aware that some parents would prefer that their children not read Holocaust content, and we encourage those families to choose one of the three other book choices that month.
