Description:
To properly understand the Holocaust, students will become familiar with the
history of Anti-Semitism. They will investigate the historical conditions that
allowed the rise of Hitler in Germany. We will study the use of propaganda in
creating the Nazi Regime. Two books will be read: Night by Elie Wiesel and
All But My Life by Gerda Weismann Klein, both authors being Holocaust
survivors. Our readings will reveal how life changed for those marked by the
Nazi as undesirable and how the “Final Solution” was played out in the
concentration camps. We will take a virtual tour of the U.S. Holocaust Museum.
Students will be engaging fundamental questions about human nature, prejudice
and violence, since the terror of genocide continues to be with us. |
