This Holocaust class will provide a deep understanding of one of the most devastating events in human history. Your student(s) will better understand the historical context and factors that led to the rise of the Nazi regime and the Holocaust while learning about the experiences of those who lived through it. Students will develop empathy and compassion for those affected by the Holocaust and recognize the importance of preventing such atrocities from happening again. They will examine the role of propaganda and the power of media in shaping public opinion and contributing to the spread of hatred and violence. We will critically analyze the ethical and moral implications of the Holocaust, including the responsibility of individuals and nations to speak out against injustice and human rights violations. And most importantly, they will recognize the importance of preserving the memory and legacy of the Holocaust and educating future generations to promote peace, tolerance, and understanding.

Our class content will be presented in a manner that is appropriate for the age level of the students. While we will touch upon the existence of death camps, we will refrain from describing the gruesome details of how Jews were killed. As we progress through the latter half of the semester, we will also highlight examples of positive actions that were taken during this period. For instance, we will discuss the efforts made by the Government of Denmark, which managed to rescue over 7,200 Jews by evacuating all but 300 from the country.

The course syllabus and teaching plan have been subject to a rigorous peer review and have received the approval of my professor. Should you have any queries or apprehensions regarding this class, please do not hesitate to contact me, and I will be pleased to answer them.

宿題が提供されます
To get us started, students will have a vocabulary list and a Leaders of World War II worksheet that should be done before the first class. Both of these will enhance and reinforce our learning. Almost every week, there will be a book that needs to be read for the following week. These books are a mix of novels and graphic novels. There is also a final project. Each student will have a choice from five different projects they will present to the class. I will present these options at the beginning of the first class and several times throughout the course. Students will have 3-5 minutes to make their presentations.
