It of course depends on their level of maturity. On a basic level you can share how people have hurt others just because of differences such as ethnicity, sexuality, etc., and why that’s wrong. That’s something I’m grateful my mother taught me when I was quite young. There are great resources out there that are age appropriate. I would recommend the ADL and the graphic novel Maus. The ADL has many resources for whatever you need, and Maus is an illustrated way to communicate what happened that a child can more easily understand. I would also recommend Night by Elie Wiesel. It’ll be difficult no matter what. And how it should be. Something so horrific should always be handled with somber care and deliberate consideration. It’s so good that you care enough to pass that knowledge and concern along to your children. God bless you!
