Liberation and Survival
Categories Holocaust

Lesson Summary:

From Yad Vashem:
"In this classroom activity, students explore different aspects of how survivors experienced liberation, through a close reading and discussion of selected testimonies."



Objectives

  • Examine primary resources including testimonies and photographs relating to liberation and survival.
  • Think about the meaning of “liberation” after the Holocaust: the saga of liberation was not a happy ending to a sad story, but a tragedy in and of itself.
  • Gain insight into how Jews who had survived tried to put the pieces of their broken lives back together, and the difficulties they encountered in doing so.

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.
