All Grades: Extended Connections Introduction “The Rise & Fall of Hatred”
By reviewing this slideshow with your connections group, you will provide the following important foundational information for Days of Remembrance:
- Review and explain the pyramid of hate; a visual representation of how simple acts of intolerance can escalate into full blown Genocides.
- Review the definition of Genocide and explain what actions may exist to prevent Genocides from occurring
- Review reasons for studying the Holocaust specifically.
- Begin looking at upstanders (Sophie Scholl slide) Upstanders are people who stood up to the Nazis and tried to help those being persecuted.
Ask students to engage through a “popcorn” read-aloud of the slides, or by asking for volunteers.
For the “Never Again” slides, you do not need to read line by line. They are there to show the ongoing and “big picture” impacts of genocide in our history.
If time permits today or during future Connections next week: Share additional upstander stories from the slideshow. Break up into small groups and jigsaw the remaining biographies. Each group can present a summary of the upstander’s story.
Connections teacher will read the following quote to bring closure to this extended connections:
“Holocaust education also serves a broader purpose, since it can provide a historical context to understand and prevent other atrocities. The Holocaust began with words, racial stereotyping and demonization; and that has also been the prelude to mass violence around the globe. The Holocaust can also teach young people today how to confront bigotry through stories of courageous individuals in Nazi-occupied Europe who stood up and risked their own lives to save jewish people” Hary Wall; CNN: January 27, 2019.
