The Balkans: Ethnic Conflict
The Holocaust
Grades 8–12
Students will realize the tragedy of overwhelming moral magnitude and great historical significance that was the Holocaust. The handson historical documents are powerful: the chronology from Yad Vashem, a Reich Citizenship Law stripping Jews of all rights, photos of the horrors of the Holocaust, Hitler’s directive by Bormann on the “Jewish Question,” and extraordinary maps labeled with countries and numbers of Jews to be sent to death camps. This Jackdaw examines the evolution of anti-Semitism from its origin to its fatal culmination in the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question.” Historian: William Phillips.
The difficult subject of ethnic conflict in the Balkans and the historical and political background of the area are clarified through Broadsheets, historical documents, photographs, and illustrations. A history of the Ottoman Empire and explanations of such concepts as ethnic cleansing and nationalism facilitate student understanding of the tragic events that occurred following the breakup of Yugoslavia. Historians: Norman Itzkowitz and Enid Goldberg. The contents of this
