This is what needs to be done by each member of the group:

The Researchers/Biographers:  Each of you will conduct an extensive search of the Web to find three people who lived in Europe during the Holocaust and were victims of Nazi terror, persecution or abuse.  You should find sites that offer testimony---as either diaries, video interviews, audio clips.  Many websites have such information.  You should browse through pictures--in archives or document sections.  Be sure you achieve geographic diversity in your choices.  Follow the trails for information about your people wherever they lead.

To review, researchers/biographers need to follow these steps:

1. Find biographical data on three teenagers who lived during the horrors of the Holocaust.  Check the websites suggested for film video, audio clips. testimony and photographs.  Allow the site map or site index to be your guide while searching for your people.  At many sites, pictures are accompanied by biographies which you can use as the basis for your group's study.

2. Be certain that your three biographical subjects are from geographically diverse regions of Europe.

3. Work with your geographer by sharing all the information you collect about places--that is, where your person was born, where s/he grew up, traveled to or studied.  And of course where their journey through the Holocaust took them.

4. Give timeline information to your chronologer.  Work with the chronologer to place your person in the context of the Holocaust history.

The Geographer:  Each geographer will take information about where the chosen research subjects grew up, lived or ended up during the War to discover what you can about what the place was like, what life was like there during this time.

The Chronologer:

1. Chronologers should create a visual timeline, either on paper or on the computer, placing your group's person on a general overview timeline.
   

2. Be sure to show the timeline of Holocaust history as well as how your group's person fits into it.
