There is a collection of quotes to stimulate thought and discussion about
various aspects of the Holocaust.
Lesson Plan 1 - Reading, group work, presentation
1. Divide into groups. Give each group a quote or two to work on and then they
read and present to the class. Allow discussion.
You could create some general leading questions for all groups to focus on.
Here are some ideas.
What is the main idea expressed in the quote? Why do you think the person who
is quoted, said the things he/she said. How does the quote make you feel? Does
your quote contain an opinion. If so, do you agree with that person? Can you
relate anything in the quote to your life personally/ to life today/ to the
society you live in? What questions remain in your mind/ are left unanswered/
after reading the quote?
Lesson Plan 2 - Personal writing
2. Make quite a few copies of the quotes, cut them up and allow pupils to
browse through them for 15 minutes.Then they must choose one quote to focus on
in writing a personal response.
They can relate to any of questions above in their response.
NOTE: If the quotes are too difficult to be dealt with without help, the
teacher may read some of the difficult ones aloud, providing the necessary
vocabulary. Then the class could be broken up into groups or the quotes handed
out for the writing activity.
