The Power of the Human Spirit: Holocaust Literature for Adolescents

Help me give my students the gift of Holocaust literature to enhance their deep study.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Savage's classroom raised $844

This project is fully funded

My Project

As a continuation of our adolescent study on The Holocaust, students will be reading Art Spiegelman's Maus I and II and learning about Vladek Spiegelman's journey as a Holocaust Survivor.

Learning about survivors of the Holocaust will aid in our adolescent students empathy for this atrocity and will help enrich the age-appropriate content that they will be learning in both Social Studies and Language Arts.

Students will also have the opportunity to meet an adult child of a survivor from our local Jewish Federation and will be examining poetry from survivors as well as the role of bystanders and upstanders throughout this painful time in our world history.
