-
Virtual
This mini-course looks at the history and evolution of antisemitism and presents steps to help students stand up against this form of hatred and bigotry.
Rising Antisemitism and Fading Memories of the Holocaust
Help students analyze recent trends regarding receding Holocaust memory and the resurgence of antisemitism in Europe, and prompt them to consider how history can help us confront hate in the world.
Students examine the steps the Nazis took to replace democracy with dictatorship and draw conclusions about the values and institutions that make democracy possible.
Students are introduced to the enormity of the crimes committed during the Holocaust and look closely at stories of a few individuals who were targeted by Nazi brutality.
Students deepen their examination of human behaviour during the Holocaust by analysing and discussing the range of choices available to individuals, groups, and nations.
Students both respond to and design Holocaust memorials as they consider the impact that memorials and monuments have on the way we think about history.
Jewish Identity and the Complexities of Dual or Multiple Belongings
Students continue to explore the question “Who am I?” by examining the concept of dual or multiple identities and reflecting on their own identities as Jews.
