Teaching About the Holocaust Through Narrative: Methods and Materials

Catalog description

This course will explore the power of age-appropriate Holocaust literature, testimony, poetry, historical documents, film, artifacts, and art to engage middle and high school students in an age-appropriate, chronological study of the Holocaust. As we examine text and visual media, we will analyze methodologies and materials designed to help our students understand this watershed through the thoughts, words, actions, and reactions of those who were there and of those who live in its shadow.
