What was the Holocaust and how did it occur? Why do we remember it? How did victims and survivors respond, and how can we honor their voices? How did upstanders respond, and what can we learn from their voices?
In this module, students learned about a terrible time period in history, remembered the voices of victims, survivors, and upstanders, and at the same time, they developed their ability to determine and track themes, understand the development of characters, identify and track the development of central ideas, and wrote narratives to honor the memories of those who served as upstanders during the Holocaust.
