March 27th: Stations

In class we did two activities in two separate groups.  One group went to the media center and viewed a power point while the other reflected on the Holocaust Museum, then we switched!

 The Power Point was all about The Holocaust.
It outlined the history of the Holocaust such as the years leading up to it and how it was able to happen.
The history covered goes from 1933 to the end of World War II
One thing I want to share from the power point are the 3 Stages of the Nazi Plan:
1. Shooting

• Jews were told they were being relocated but were shot in the woods and then their bodies were burned

2. Gas Vans

• The Jews again were told they were being relocated. However, the van was constructed so that the exhaust was sent up to fill the van.

3. The Camps
Concentration and Execution camps

This is a website that similar to the Power Point shows the history of the Holocaust

The other Half of class was spent reflecting on our visit at the Holocaust Museum.  I really enjoyed hearing what my class mates had to say and what they found to be inspiring, touching, heartbreaking, and moving in the museum.  The museum is very deliberately designed in such a way that you could get a true sense of a small taste of what it was like for these brave people who suffered in the Holocaust.
Here are some pictures from the Holocaust Museum.


These are only some views of the many moving exhibits that are in the Holocaust Museum.
