Learning Objects: The Holocaust
This learning object collection focuses on the Holocaust. The following information contains 10 learning objects that can be used by teachers or students in learning more about this tragic event. (Some of the information can be graphic so it is only appropriate for high school students)

Introduction to the Holocaust :
[|**Timeline**] Check out this timeline from 1933-1945 that provides information related to the Holocaust. This is a good starting point for a lesson or unit since it offers a nice overview of what happened during these years. (Source: PBS.org)

__**Video**__- This video is an excerpt of a documentary that includes testimony from survivors (some graphic pictures). It is titled "Remember" so that we never forget this tragic event and history does not repeat itself. It would be a good introduction into a unit on the Holocaust.

[|**The Holocaust: A Tragic Legacy**]This comprehensive website has some great resources such as a summary of the Holocaust, timeline, multimedia links, and even quizzes. (Source: ThinkQuest)

[|****WebQuest****]- This is a fun webquest created by another teacher that students can work on together as a group activity. (Source: Rebecca Lawson)

[|****Virtual Tour of Auschwitz****]- This is not a narrated tour, but it does offer commentary along the bottom to let you know what you are looking at and one can choose which parts of the camps they would like to see. You can control the picture and make it move 360 degrees or zoom in on certain things to get a better look. A teacher would easily make a worksheet to go along with this tour.

__**PowerPoint**__ - This PowerPoint presentation includes a KWL chart, video link, and activity that incorporates the Holocaust. This was created for a virtual classroom, but could be adapted for any class. (Source: Allison Duran)

It also provides guidelines and advice for teachers on what is age appropriate and how to best teach the material. (Source: United States Holocaust Memorial Museum)

<span style="background-color: #000080; color: #ffffff; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">__The Holocaust through Pictures__:
====<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;">[|**Holocaust Photo Gallery**]- <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Georgia,serif;">This entire site is a teacher's guide to the Holocaust and has some really nice features, but I have directly linked to a gallery of Holocaust images. The photos are grouped into 10 different sections(some photos are graphic in nature). Pictures can speak a thousand words so it is important we see what Holocaust survivors endured and to never allow it to happen again. (Source: University of South Florida) ====

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"><span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Georgia,serif;">__**Art Slide Show**__- These pictures were created by 6th graders to get their view of the Holocaust. This type of activity would work for any age group and give students the opportunity to be creative and see one another's view of the Holocaust.
