The Holocaust: The Art of Memory

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Never Forget. As part of a study of the Holocaust, class members watch a PowerPoint about Terezin, read selections from I Never Saw Another Butterfly, Children's Drawings, and Poems from Terezin Concentration Camp, then craft their responses to the pieces. It's a powerful reminder of a national and international tragedy.
