What was the Holocaust?
According to The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum:
"The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning “sacrifice by fire.” The Nazis, who came to power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were “racially superior” and that the Jews, deemed “inferior,” were an alien threat to the so-called German racial community."
Your task consists of making a visual tour of the topography of terror. You must document the path from when Hitler came to power in 1933, until the liberation of the death camp of Auschwitz (1945). This road has to be chronological, following the historical order of measures carried out by the Nazi regime and its supporters, to destroy the Jews in Europe. Each landmark has to be visualized by a picture with a footnote, in which you will answer the questions of who was involved, where this event occurred, when it happened, and what happened.
You must present your exhibition about the Holocaust using a timeline program. Each post must satisfy all requirements mentioned above.
Now, after walking through the death and barbarity of the Holocaust, let us move onto the task. You have to put on the victim´s shoes. Each group member has to write an essay trying to answer the next questions:
Does it make sense to remember what the Holocaust was? Does it make sense to remember the suffering of the victims? At present, who are the victims?
