Based on the Holocaust memorial Places of Remembrance in Germany, participants create a timeline of voices by reading over 90 antisemitic laws passed between 1933-1945. Discuss how Adolf Hitler became a totalitarian leader of once-democratic Germany and the legislative processes that allowed for discrimination to result in genocide. This is recommended for introduction or if you are just starting to study the Holocaust in class. Law and Disorder: Legalizing Discrimination during the Holocaust Explore how the photographs of Henryk Ross represent the complexity of life in the Lodz Ghetto, and the role of the photographer as witness, resister, and accomplice. Life in the Lodz Ghetto: Photographs by Henryk Ross Through interactive activities, participants analyze and contextualize patterns of human behavior, specifically those of resisters and rescuers during the Holocaust. They will also identify which tools of resistance resonate with them. Rescue and Resistance during the Holocaust By examining primary source propaganda materials across a spectrum of historical examples, participants will consider how stereotypes influence the way we view and treat others, as well as how stereotyping and scapegoating escalate to acts of discrimination, prejudice, and violence. Analyzing Stereotypes and Scapegoating Request a presentation by a member of our Speakers’ Bureau. Speaker
