Introduction

A series of images designed to help the teacher invoke questions and emotional responses from their students. Allow the students to take note of what they see in the images, how they make them feel, how people in the era would have felt or simply open a class discussion.

Instructions

Play the images one after the other and pick the activity you would like them to do; write poetry, discuss what the images represent or even help inform some creative process being used to explore the impact of the holocaust.
