'Au revoir les enfants' reading - background

A reading task about the real figure behind the character of 'Pere Jean&' in the film &';Au revoir les enfants' (information taken from wikipedia). I have a mixed ability class, so gave some pupils the version with line numbers as clues to help them cope with the text which is fairly challenging for Y9. Pupils seemed really interested and shocked by the fact that it was a real-life story, so I hope it works well for you too.
