Explore the Past, Shape the Future: Student learning activities about the Holocaust
These dynamic activities combine the power of Holocaust survivor and witness testimony with inquiry-driven learning pathways to encourage critical thinking, reflection, and understanding of this vital history and its ongoing meaning.
Most activities can be readily completed within one class period, as stand-alone learning or as a part of comprehensive instruction with our Echoes & Reflections Units. They can also be assigned outside of the school setting as homework or learning extensions.
