The Tasks
|
|
| It is your task to find three different
people who were pre-teens or teenagers during the Holocaust, and who lived
in different countries that came under Nazi
rule. These individuals must be Jews from different communities in
different countries, and should be from different time periods 1933-1945.
You must find out what life was like for them before the Holocaust, what
it was like during the Holocaust, and what happened to each of them by the
time the war ended.
Your group must gather its data and prepare a presentation for the class in which you introduce your research persons to us and tell us about their lives and experiences. The presentation must be at least ten minutes long, and should include pre-printed notes for each class member, as well as visual and/or audio material for us to share.

You will by now have a familiarity with certain Holocaust vocabulary, terms, and definitions, and will have accomplished the reading of at least two pieces of Holocaust literature.

To review the events of the Holocaust: www.wiesenthal.com
(timeline of the Holocaust) or To review important Holocaust terms: www.fcit.usf.edu/holocaust/resource/glossary (Glossary of the Holocaust) Each member should visit www.ushmm.org to explore both student and teacher resources. See how the site works, as it will prove to be most valuable later in your research. Be sure to navigate to "Research" then to "Collections" for an amazing array of pictures and stories of teenagers in the Holocaust. Finally, each member should visit www.yadvashem.org to examine that site for use during research. Be sure to navigate to "About the Holocaust" from the site index on the left side of the homepage.
