Although the Holocaust is a difficult subject to approach, it is one that is vital and needed in a student’s education. This project will help students gain an understanding into the many historical, social, religious, political, and economic factors that increased and added to the beginning of the Holocaust. Students will gain an awareness of how complex the subject at hand is and reach a perception of how the merging of a multitude of elements can cause the collapse of democratic principles. Students will come to the conclusion that the citizens in a society are the ones responsible for themselves and their peers, and to recognize and learn signals of danger and be able to respond in an appropriate way. Students will come to understand that it is the responsibility of citizens in any society to learn to identify danger signals and to know when to react. The Holocaust brings up issues that are still being faced today. Students will learn and relate to the questions of fairness, justice, individual identity, peer pressure, conformity, indifference, and obedience. Students will learn from this project and use this information in their daily lives.
