The Holocaust



Go to The History Channel's online clips of WWII programs and watch the following videos and photos in the following order.  As you are watching each item, write down two or three key facts that you learned or write a one sentence reaction to the footage and the information (what does it make you think of or feel?):
  1. Holocaust Concentration Camps
  2. Concentration Camp Liberation
  3. Remembering the Holocaust
Then, visit UnitedStates Holocaust Memorial Museum, and find the following facts about the genocide that was the known as the Holocaust.  Genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.

  • Who perpetrated the attacks and who was targeted?
  • Where and when did this happen?
  • Why did this happen?  What were the causes?
  • How many people have been affected (deaths, injuries, refugees)? 
  • What has happened to those affected?
  • What has happened to those who perpetrated violence?
  • What other affects have occurred as a result (to the government of affected countries as well as the response of other countries, especially)?
