Looking for an engaging research project for your students that combines historical events and personal narratives? Using online materials from both Centropa and Holocaust Museum Houston—primary/secondary sources, photographs, interviews, films, and more to help your students understand the depth and breadth of the Holocaust—this project takes students from prewar Jewish life through the devastation of the Holocaust, requiring them to reflect on both the historical events and experiences of those who lived through it.
In this unique 90-minute online program you will learn about the project, spend time familiarizing yourself with the materials, and share ideas on how to implement this project in your classroom. We will provide you with the materials and links you need to do this project, including one version for middle school and one for high school.
Houston area teachers will earn 1.5 CPE credit hours.
Centropa interviewed 1,200 elderly Jews living in 15 European countries. We asked our respondents to tell us their entire life stories spanning the 20th c. as they showed us their old family photographs. Centropa offers teachers a database of thousands of annotated photos, hundreds of interviews, and scores of award-winning, short multimedia films (no longer than 30 minutes)—ideal for virtual or in-class projects that teach digital literacy, promote critical thinking, increase global awareness and all free of charge.
