Holocaust Teaching Resources
Do I want to remember this world upside down? Where the departed are blessed with an instant death. While the living condemned to a short wretched life, And a long tortuous journey into an unnamed place, Converting Living Souls, into ashes and gas. No. I Have to Remember and Never Let You Forget. From I Cannot Forget, a poem by Alexander Kimel - A Holocaust Survivor
Teaching Suggestions:
Lamar's lesson on the Holocaust and Wiesel
As you'll see, I make reference to a video, The World at War: Genocide (in the library),
which I show students the preceding period. If you're interested, you're welcome to the handout about canonical and Nazi law, which I have borrowed from Jim.
