What educators are saying
This was a great project for my 8th graders to do at the end of our Holocaust unit. Very eye opening for them. They were very engaged and interested in the person they were researching.
Perfect addition to our Holocaust unit! It's my first time teaching this unit, and this resource helped me tremendously!
Description
Through this activity, students view the Holocaust through the eyes of the people who witnessed this event. Through their stories, students can gain a better appreciation for the struggles and strength demonstrated by those impacted by the Holocaust.
This webquest/ Google Doc assignment allows students to use the "Behind Every Name a Story" page of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to research and write about the experiences of a Holocaust survivor. Through the site, students can select one of several survivor stories. On the Google Doc assignment, students will write about their chosen survivor's experiences, and reflect on the challenges faced by the survivor.
