Examining leadership and ethics in the context of the Holocaust reveals widespread failures of individuals, communities, societies, nations, and the international community. The political and cultural factors that influenced people's choices are unique to the context of the Holocaust. However, the social and psychological dynamics that played into people's decisions and actions are timeless. These same human vulnerabilities can continue to pose challenges in our lives and our world today.

Conformity is a type of social influence involving changing one's beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors in order to fit with a group.

The reason why a unit on The Holocaust is important is because it can cover quite a few standards. I also have a passion for the subject since learning about The Holocaust is what initially sparked my interest in history as a young student when reading the book Night. With the unit there is a wide variety that can be discussed and books, such as Night by Elie Wiesel, can be utilized. Learning about The Holocaust can give students a better understanding of World War II and the atrocities that took place during it.
