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 work in pairs to examine the ways that they demonstrate respect – and disrespect – to the people and institutions around them. The testimony clips include a liberator emphasizing his position toward religious intolerance, and two Holocaust survivors reflecting upon the humiliation they witnessed and experienced during the war. Students are asked to think about the role that respect has played in the past – specifically, respect for individuals, respect for ideas, and respect for differences. Among the exercises in this lesson are small group work, large group discussions, and creative writing activities.
