The Holocaust, Auschwitz: If You Cried, You Died

We'll be watching a Holocaust video in class today and discussing the Holocaust.  If you missed class, please see me for the worksheet, or click here.

If you were absent, or are looking for more videos to watch, this interview of Elle Wiesel by Oprah is a touching overview.  The video we watched in class isn't online.



Finally, in class or at home check out the Illinois Holocaust Museum website.  Prepare yourself for the visit by reading about the Holocaust and the museum and forming questions to find the answers to.  There are also other Holocaust museum sites worth checking out. Google them or click here for the US Holocaust Museum.
