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.
