The Holocaust: Facing History

Help me give my students the tools to learn about the Holocaust because each generation must be taught so that it never happens again--to any group of people.

My Students

My students are wonderful children from a rural, and poverty background. We are a Title I school and all my students receive free breakfast and lunch.

So many of my students have very few positive family structures.

In Muskogee County, social services tell us that around 1/3 of the students are being raised by grandparents or someone other than the parents. I want to inspire them to learn and to see the surrounding world and what all it has to offer. There is no public library here. The nearest public library is over Braggs Mountain and a minimum of 15 miles away for students.

My Project

I plan to have my students bear witness to the atrocities committed by the Nazis during the Holocaust, as well as extraordinary acts of resistance and efforts to preserve human dignity on the part of victims and survivors.

I plan to use these books to place emphasis on courageous individuals of all ages who fought back and worked to preserve the lives of children during the Holocaust.

I plan to have each student select three books to read and give a report either through a writing paper, a poster display/drawing or through a short video of the personal impact of these stories.

I want our students to remember they learned about this in upper elementary school.
