The Historical Fiction book I picked was "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" by John Boyne. The genre of this book is Historical Fiction because this books relates back to the time when the Nazi's and concentration camp occurred when Hitler took over Europe and in this story is explains how this young boy is in a stripped Pajamas has to go through and move from his home far away with his family but as soon as he gets to where he is suppose to go, he tries to go out and explore and become adventurous, he later meets a friend that is similar to him and they resulted in becoming good friends where they developed their own friendship but as soon as they got caught, they unfortunately faces unnecessary actions that was not the most pleasant and they had to suffer only because they had were different and had to be punished just because they were different. 

The social Justice of this book would have to be self awareness because during that time people had to be aware of who they were and if they matched the criteria at the time, they were expected to leave from their families and go to a place that was unpleasant and were punished and had to suffer and this was all cruelty and no one should have gone through that just because of who they were or because of how they looked. In my future class, if we were to discuss history of the concentration camp, I could use this book to set up a guide and somewhat have a lead so the students could have discussions and become a character and we can share how we feel if we were in their spots and also would help my students be able to remember this story because they became a character in the book.
