The Individual and Togetherness in the "Witnesses and Education" Testimony Film Series
Categories Holocaust 
Tags: European Jewry , Film 
grades:  High School (9-12) 

Lesson Summary:

From Yad Vashem:
""Witnesses and Education" is a unique project featuring educational autobiographical journey films of Holocaust survivors. In this unit we wish to accompany the witnesses, the subjects of these films, and supply the students with further perspective in the study of the Holocaust."



Objectives

  • Acquaintance with the witnesses and their personal story
  • Devoting attention to values such as mutual Jewish assistance and responsibility along the witnesses' journey from their birth to their liberation, using individual stories which together form a part of a human, Jewish, fabric that wished to hold on to life and its meaning during one of human society's bleakest and darkest periods.
  • An attempt to understand the meaning of 'togetherness' during a period of disintegration of the Jewish community and the family in its midst. These concepts will be examined non-judgmentally, with awareness that the issue of "togetherness" was often an unbearable burden for the individual, particularly in a reality of extermination.

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.
