The students will be required to bring to the next class a way in which they have found a different marginalized or abused group of people, outside of the “typical” slavery we discussed in this lesson, have resisted their own dehumanization. For example, Jewish people creating community with music, art, and fellowship during their persecution in the Holocaust.

# data[].attributes.body
A terrible way people used to kill slaves to intimidate or place fear in others, typically done by hanging (tying a rope around their neck and lifting them up). This was a very widespread practice during slavery. It was often done in public places, and to many slaves at a time.

The Nazis were the political group that was in charge of Germany from 1933 - 1945. They were led by a man named Adolf Hitler. This group is the one that was responsible for killing all of the Jews during the Holocaust, which is what the time came to be called. Nazis are known for their symbol called the swastika (shown in photo).

These were the places that the Jews, among other minority groups, were held during WW2 and Nazi occupation. In these camps, they were treated very badly, by being starved, hurt, and worked very hard. Many people died or were murdered at the camps. One of the most infamous camps is called Auschwitz.

What are ways in which humans resist the dehumanization of enslavement?

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Discuss in groups of 2-4 what they noticed in the excerpt.

a.       How did Cora feel?

b.       Did she act on her feelings? If so, what did she do?

c.       If she acted on her feelings, what were her motivations for doing so?

d.       Was Cora’s behavior influenced by anyone else?

e.       How did the other people in the scene feel or react?

2.  Pass out 5 sticky notes per group. Have them answer each above question on the sticky and place it on the board.

a.   Mark off 5 sections on the board, for each question, and have them place the sticky notes under the corresponding question.

3. After this, possibly discuss: have your view on Cora changed? If so, how?

# data[].attributes.body
· Mark emotions felt by everyone in the scene, particularly Cora.

o   Write these emotion words on the outside margin: Ex: enraged, proud, etc.

·  Pay attention to Cora’s actions and what leads up to them. Circle or underline things you think caused her actions.

# data[].attributes.body
·  Talk about what we know about the main character Cora already. What are some of her characteristics? What is her situation?

·  Define to them what dehumanization means.

o   Can they think of any other ways to define dehumanization? Write them down.

First they came for the Jews

and I did not speak out

because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists

and I did not speak out

because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists

and I did not speak out

because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me

and there was no one left

to speak out for me.
