Remembering the Holocaust

By: Billie McCarron

Students will be investigating and reporting on various aspects of the Holocaust. They will view photographs that include graphic depiction of the suffering of the Jews, read first-hand accounts from those who survived, and learn of the atrocities that happened during World War II under Adolf Hitler and his Generals. This lesson was planned in conjunction with the 8th-grade Language Arts teachers whose classes will be reading a book about Anne Frank, a Holocaust survivor. By completing the Social Studies lesson described in this WebQuest, students will be able to have the background knowledge necessary to explore a World War II and the Holocaust.
