VIDEO:  Remember the Children: Daniels Story

# data[].attributes.body
This Video Published By the United States Holocaust Museum, takes you through the exhibit itself, along with the story of Daniel. It tells his story starting at a young age and his experience with the Holocaust, including the several years prior. It includes Artifacts, Pictures, audio files, and a first hand account of a child's experience.

I think videos that take you through the exhibits themselves like this can be super interesting and interactive for students, especially because a lot of students will never be able to experience it in person and I think the video does a great job of showing the exhibition.

ARTICLE: Holocaust Deniers and Public Misinformation

# data[].attributes.body
This is an informative article about how the spread of misinformation led to a rise in holocaust denial. It describes the thinking of holocaust deniers, including that if one fact is incorrect then it never happened. I find this article extremely interesting because it allows you to see how holocaust deniers think (however wrong it might be). One thing I read in the article that just absolutely shocked me was that a lot of people believed that since there was never a document signed by Hitler ordering the holocaust, then it must be some elaborate hoax.

the goal of this article is to show the students how important it is to learn about and talk about the holocaust.

Holocaust denial and minimization or distortion of the facts of the Holocaust is a form of antisemitism.

Holocaust deniers ignore the overwhelming evidence of the event and insist that the Holocaust is a myth, invented by the Allies, the Soviet communists, and the Jews for their own ends. According to the deniers' "logic" the Allies needed the "Holocaust myth" to justify their occupation of Germany in 1945 and the "harsh" persecution of Nazi defendants. Holocaust deniers also claim that Jews needed the "Holocaust myth" to extract huge payments in restitution from Germany and to justify the establishment of the State of Israel. Holocaust deniers claim that there is a vast conspiracy involving the victorious powers of World War II, Jews, and Israel to propagate the Holocaust for their own ends.

Holocaust deniers assert that if they can discredit one fact about the Holocaust, the whole history of the event can be discredited as well. They ignore the evidence of the historical event and make arguments that they say negate the reality of the Holocaust in its entirety.

Documenting the Holocaust: Examples of Documents Some Holocaust deniers argue that, since there is neither a single document that outlines the Holocaust nor a signed document from Hitler ordering the Holocaust, the Holocaust itself is a hoax. To make this argument, they reject all the evidence submitted at Nuremberg. They denounce as fabrications the genocidal intention of the Nazi state and the thousands of orders, memos, notes, and other records that document the process of destruction. When they cannot sustain arguments that documents are forged, they argue that the language in the documents has been deliberately misinterpreted. Furthermore, some Holocaust deniers insist that the Allies tortured the perpetrators into testifying about their role in the killing process and that the survivors who testified about Nazi crimes against Jews were all lying out of self-interest.

Some Holocaust deniers claim that those "few" Jews who perished died from natural causes or were legitimately executed by the Nazi state for actual criminal offenses. They assert that Jews and the Allied powers deliberately inflated the numbers of Jews killed during the war. Holocaust historians have placed the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust between 5.1 and 6 million, based on legitimate available historical sources and demographic methods. Holocaust deniers cite uncertainty about the exact number of deaths within this accepted range as proof that the whole history of the Holocaust has been fabricated and that the number of Jewish deaths during World War II has been grossly exaggerated.

Some Holocaust deniers assert that the Nazis did not use gas chambers to kill Jews. They deny the reality of the killing centers. Deniers have focused their attention on Auschwitz and believe if they could just disprove that the Nazis used gas chambers in Auschwitz to kill Jews, the whole history of the Holocaust would also be discredited.

Holocaust deniers often mimic the forms and practices of scholars in order to deceive the public about the nature of their views. They generally footnote their writings by citing the publications of other Holocaust deniers and hold pseudo-scholarly conventions.

Holocaust denial on the Internet is especially a problem because of the ease and speed with which such misinformation can be disseminated. In the United States, where the First Amendment to the Constitution ensures freedom of speech, it is not against the law to deny the Holocaust or to propagate Nazi and antisemitic hate speech. European countries such as Germany and France have criminalized denial of the Holocaust and have banned Nazi and neo-Nazi publications. The Internet is now the chief source of Holocaust denial and the chief means of recruiting for Holocaust denial organizations.

The Tattooist of Auschwitz, By Heather Morris, tells the story of a Slavic jew named Lale who was imprisoned in Auschwitz, and his love story with a girl he was tattooing at the concentration camps. its based on the true story of Lale and his wife Gita.

This book is one of my favorite books, I think that it's very emotional and I think I would Use this as an intro into the Holocaust Unit, just because it's a good introduction to a very dark topic.

This video is about Three Survivors who were imprisoned in Auschwitz. It was a very unsettling yet touching experience watching them talk about their experiences in camps.

I remember watching a video similar to this one when I was in high school, and it was very touching and truly an inspirational video. It also gets students to better connect with the subject and see why it's so important for us to learn about these subjects. Its also a very recent video (2025)

PODCAST: Public Radio Special: Confronting Hatred 70 Years After the Holocaust

# data[].attributes.body
This special, staring Morgan freedman talks to a lot of different people from a lot of different backgrounds including holocaust survivor and Noble Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel. they touch on antisemitism in the modern day, stories from during the holocaust, and so much more.

I thought it was incredibly interesting, I personally love podcasts, I listen to them all the time (especially while I do homework). its also a different form of media, I feel like a lot of teachers show only videos and photos and this is just a nice change of pace in the classroom.

This clipping was Published in the United States and outlines the "racial cards" being used in Germany to determine who is what "blood race". this is the beginning of Hitler's "Aryan Race" ideology and caused a lot of crime in Germany.

I think that newspaper clipping are really interesting when it comes to Social studies, I do wish it was a German Newspaper but I was having a hard time trying to find one.

VIDEO/ MUSIC: Lost Voices from the holocaust

# data[].attributes.body
This music is extremely gut-wrenching to hear, especially when you know its history, where it was created, and who created it and is playing it. The song is performed by violinist Edward Polidi.

I really love when teachers use music from the time period, even when they don't have words, it makes you really connect to people from the time and is so emotional to listen to when you know the context of the music. it gives you a very unsettling feeling when you listen to it.
