Lesson Summary:

From Yad Vashem:
"Students will learn about the Holocaust in Romania, and about relations between Jews and their non-Jewish neighbors in Iasi, Romania prior to WWII. By examining assistance efforts by non-Jewish rescuers, students will better understand that individuals have the power to make choices: to remain indifferent to murder or to respect others."



Objectives

  • Students will study about the Holocaust in Romania.
  • Students will learn about the relations between Jews and their non-Jewish neighbors in Iasi (prononced Yassi in Romanian) before the Second World War.
  • Students will grapple with difficult questions concerning the responsibility of Romanian authorities in the brutal murder of its citizens.
  • Students will examine the various forms of assistance and motivations of non-Jewish rescuers in their efforts to help Jews.
  • Students will be encouraged to become active learners.
  • Students will better understand that individuals have the power to make choices: to remain indifferent to murder and destruction or to respect other human beings.
