Post War for the Jewish People and Final Lesson of this Unit
Learning Objective: To be able to see the light at the end of this horrible mark on World History
Learning Activities:1. What countries did Jews move to after the war?
2. When they went to these countries what did they do (employment, jobs)? 3. Write 3 things you have learned from this topic, Write 3 things you want to learn more about in this topic, Write down one thing you will never forget from what has been taught to you in the last Term. 4. Finally I want you to remember one thing from this work ... as you listen to the children who sang at the opening of this work to you that did not make it to see their futures, did not live to even see the end of the war (they were some of the 1.5 Million Children who were killed during this time... Children your age and younger who never got a chance to see the good in humanity) ... the Jewish people were able to have a future, have a great soul, ability to forgive and an ability to see light in extreme darkness. |
