Survivor Stories of the Holocaust LIVE VideoConference -- CILC - 0 views

  •  
    Education: Grade(s): 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Cost $FREE! What was it like to be a Jew in Europe prior to World War II? How was your life different from non-Jews? What did you know about the regime in Nazi Germany and what happened to you as a result of its rule? What was it like to be sent away from your parents on the Kindertransport or to stay in your home country and be taken away to a concentration camp? What was life like in the camps? What did it mean to be liberated? For this very special program, take your study of World War II and the Holocaust to individuals who lived through them. Ask these questions and more as you interact with Holocaust survivors. Our focus in this program will not be exploring the historic details of World War II or the Holocaust, but it will be to provide students the rare and important opportunity to speak directly with those who lived during that time and survived to share their experiences with others. This program will come live from the Holocaust Museum and Learning Center in St. Louis. The program will also include information about resources available through the Center.

    "Think "fantasy football for social studies and literacy standards". Teachers sign up, have a draft in class, and use scores and resources however they want. Students draft teams of countries, become more aware, and automatically score points every time their countries are mentioned in the NY Times. FGP engages students in the study of how politics, geography, humans, economics, and foreign policy interact."
