You will make up groups to do this activity. Each group will be made up of three people, according to roles below.
THE SPECIALIST IN AUSCHWITZ´S HISTORY
You must tackle the next questions:
When was Auschwitz built? Where and why was that location chosen? Historical context. The different stages of the Auschwitz camp. Why was Auschwitz extended? Description of the Auschwitz camp; at this point it is essential to work with a map of Auschwitz. Who were the people in charge of the death camp? To complete this item, you must write down a small biography about all of them. Liberation of prisoners. You must provide the general statistics of Jews who were deported to the death camps, as well as those who died and those who survived, paying special attention to Auschwitz.
THE SPECIALIST IN SCIENTIFIC ISSUES
Why did the Nazis introduce the euthanasia program in 1939? Who were in charge of the medical services of that program? Write down a short biography about all of them.
Just for Auschwitz: Who were the victims of the medical experiments at Auschwitz? What type of medical experiments were the different prisoners subjected to? What happened to the victims after such experiments? (Make sure to mention the babies and children at Auschwitz.) Who were in charge of the medical services at Auschwitz? Which one of them participated in the euthanasia program? Write a short biography about each of them.
THE HISTORIAN
Your starting point is The racial laws of Nuremberg. Next, the Anschluss and how the Austrian Jews were treated by the Nazis. Kristallnacht is your next landmark. Then the outbreak of the war and the creation of the ghettos, like Lodz and Warsaw. The Einsatzgruppen and the mass killings come next (Babi Yar, Kiev a meaningful example). Followed by the Final Solution after The Wannsee Conference (January 1942). You have to make a diagram in which the relationship between the German occupation and the deportation of the Jews to the death camps is shown.
