Holocaust

Document analysis focused on the Holocaust and the Truman Administration

Six sessions of activities centered around the Newbery Award-winning novel Number the Stars by Lois Lowry

This lesson will fit into my post war unit right before we get into the Cold War. The purpose of teaching about Nuremberg is two fold, first to talk about how the World was changing in relationship to dealing with this type of crime...

This is a cumulative lesson on the Holocaust. This lesson will be used towards the end of the Holocaust Unit. Students will have a thorough knowledge of the Holocaust. This lesson may be used before or after the lesson on the Nuremberg trials.

The student will examine the choices of the Einsatzgruppen leadership from the Holocaust, and that of General Romeo Dallaire, from the Rwandan genocide, and compare and contrast the moral and ethical consequences.

This lesson helps students reflect on what they can do when they encounter unfair treatment.
