Categories Holocaust

Lesson Summary:

In this lesson from Yad Vashem, this lesson plan provides an "avenue for teachers to use art in the classroom. Through a discussion of symbols and the artwork of Holocaust survivor Chava Wolf, students of varying ages can express themselves on this difficult subject."



Objectives

  • Acquaint students with the story of Chava Wolf, who was a Jewish child during the Holocaust.
  • Expose students to Chava Wolf’s brightly colored, childlike paintings.
  • Allow students to contemplate the symbolism inherent in the paintings.
  • Encourage the students to discuss the unexpected use of colors and symbols, which deviate from our preconceived notions of representing death, horror, loss and hopelessness.
  • Give children and teachers a sense of confidence in their ability to connect and create through their own artwork.

Be Inspired:The ideas included are offered as starting points as you and your students explore, discover and live the lessons. Be sure to elicit and encourage student and parent participation, consistently reinforcing the value being addressed. Allow lessons to authentically develop and change based on engagement and interests.
