From University of Southern California s Shoah Foundation: This lesson is a part of Creating Character, a series of eight multi-media classroom lessons, each of which explores the importance of positive character development. These lessons are geared towards teachers who teach 8th to 12th grade. In this lesson, students evaluate the concept of citizenship. In whole classroom discussion and smaller groups, students draw distinctions between the benefits and responsibilities associated with citizenship. Visual history testimonies of Holocaust survivors enhance the discussion by adding the perspective of those who grappled with disenfranchisement under Nazi rule. Through facilitated exercises, students are provided with the opportunity to consider the consequences of institutionalized discrimination.
