Nowhere are you likely to see such a powerful, engaging, and enlightening resource for teaching the events of the Holocaust to middle and high school students as this one: Memories of the Night: Studies of the Holocaust, Second Edition. In three distinctive, clearly-presented sections, this guide works to help you bring the Holocaust and its message to your students — and to enable them to relate the lessons of the Holocaust to their own lives.
Through the history of the Holocaust, the voices of its victims, and a variety of activities designed to help students apply what they've read and learned, the authors guide you in presenting the material in a way that extends beyond the issues of the Holocaust to provide students with a framework for becoming empathetic, compassionate young adults with a set of values that include a responsibility for all humanity.
Part I, Historical Perspectives, provides the information students need to understand the events leading to the Holocaust — and to experience the events through the voices of those who lived it. Part II, The Literature of the Holocaust, helps you determine the appropriate literature to use with your students in their study of these events. In Part III, The Holocaust: Lessons for Today you get practical help for actively involving student s in the history and literature of the Holocaust. And finally, the helpful Appendices provide you with additional tools for extending your teaching of the Holocaust.
