Students use multimodal online text (informational text, visual data displays, videos, simulations) to learn about infectious diseases and how those diseases were perpetuated by poor treatment of prisoners in concentration camps during the Holocaust. Students will analyze information and data from WHO and other science-based organizations to learn about pandemics that existed within the camps.]]> 2021-03-07 17:26:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279007043 jessica_dauer277 https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279039202 Teachers can use differentiated literacy strategies to engage students with this reading on epidemics and the Holocaust, making connections between the science of infectious disease and the poor conditions and lack of empathy for prisoners in concentration camps.]]> 2021-03-07 17:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279039202 jessica_dauer277 https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279120912 Nazis believed that Jews were the bearers of disease. Diseases ran rampant in established ghettos, which actually aided in the Nazis' mission to exterminate--so called "indirect extermination" (Stone, et.al, 2020). Teachers can use this scientific article to help make connections between the overall culture of Nazi-occupied areas outside of the concentration camps, and how epidemics of disease aided in extermination without the infamous camps.]]> 2021-03-07 18:24:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279120912 jessica_dauer277 https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279145769 This standard is used to establish the connections between human body systems. Infectious disease is a great way to show how various systems of the body work together and study one of the toughest and most important body systems--the immune system. Students can learn about how various infectious diseases affect the body and how these diseases played a major role in the Holocaust. Epidemics of infectious disease ran rampant in the concentration camps due to poor conditions and treatment of prisoners. Epidemics outside of concentration camps also contributed to an "indirect extermination" of certain groups that were targeted by Nazis. Making this connection aids students in understanding science of the body and the horrific conditions of the Holocaust. This can lead into discussions of present-day healthcare access and social justice in terms of public health for marginalized groups across the world.]]> 2021-03-07 18:37:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279145769 jessica_dauer277 https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279272435 Gather and synthesize information about the technologies that have changed the way humans influence the inheritance of desired traits in organisms. ]]> 2021-03-07 19:44:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279272435 jessica_dauer277 https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279274397 Adolf Hitler notoriously manipulated biology to create one of the worst eugenics’ programs in human history. Hitler used biological characteristics such as physical attributes and traits to selectively breed a superior Aryan race (“Eugenics”, 2019). He bred out disease and undesirable traits by killing those outside of his desired race in order to end inheritance of those traits in future generations. Students will learn about genetics and the process of artificial selection. Students will learn about the ethics associated with artificial selection, especially in the context of applying this concept to humans using the Holocaust as a warning about how this type of genetic manipulation can go horribly wrong.]]> 2021-03-07 19:45:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279274397 jessica_dauer277 https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279356657 In this reading, students can learn about eugenics and connect this to the idea of artificial selection.]]> 2021-03-07 20:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279356657 jessica_dauer277 https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279358302 Teachers can have students use differentiated literacy strategies to make connections between Darwin and his theory of evolution and the rise of eugenics. ]]> 2021-03-07 20:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279358302 jessica_dauer277 https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279404762 MS-LS4-5.

This resource comes with an excerpt from an interview with a Nazi doctor, which serves as a sort of primary document for students. The resources all comes with discussion questions that can enhance discourse and collaboration in the classroom while making connections between science and the Holocaust.]]> 2021-03-07 21:02:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279406307 jessica_dauer277 https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279414349 Students can learn about Josef Mengele who used the Nazi racial theory (built upon distorted scientific principles) to justify experiments performed on Nazi victims.

In this unit, teachers can teach students about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),  a mental health disorder that results from repeated stimulation to certain events that can lead to physical reactions and memories of traumatic events. Teachers can have students explore PTSD in Holocaust survivors to show that, because of the way humans process information, the effects of the Holocaust can persist for decades and entire lifetimes. The effects of the Holocaust are not a thing of the past, but can continue to affect survivors in the present-day. This can lead to discussions of the effects of traumatic events around the world today on future generations and how we can help survivors of traumatic events.]]> 2021-03-07 21:17:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279431404 jessica_dauer277 https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279440304 Teachers can have students analyze the data in this scientific paper that shows a correlation between Holocaust survivorship in the elderly and PTSD.

For each scientist, I have written a brief description of their scientific achievement(s), the unit/lesson I would highlight them in, and a resource for students to learn more about this person.]]> 2021-03-07 21:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279482599 jessica_dauer277 https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279484505 Leonore Rachelle Brecher was a scientist who studied botany and zoology in the early 1900s. She is credited on over 20 scientific publications. She worked in several prestigious universities but was eventually denied employment as Nazi powers arose in Europe. When Germany and Austria merged, Brecher was listed as "non-Aryan" and eventually sent to Maly Trostinec where she was executed essentially upon arrival.

Teachers can highlight Brecher's life and work when studying MS-LS1-5 of the NGSS using her work on the development of pupa coloration on different colored backgrounds.]]> 2021-03-07 21:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279484505 jessica_dauer277 https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279558022 Teachers can spark discussion about the ethics of using data collected by Nazi doctors in their experiments.]]> 2021-03-07 22:54:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279558022 jessica_dauer277 https://padlet.com/jessica_dauer277/wb61tqq8bcj6kz6h/wish/1279563104 Gustav Gellner was a military doctor for Austria who was an expert in epidemiology, infectious disease, and microbiology. He was arrested by the Gestapo in 1942 and subsequently died while imprisoned in a concentration camp. Teachers could connect his work to the infectious disease unit in the beginning of this Padlet, or introduce his work with bacteriology in lessons associated with MS-LS1-1 and MS-LS1-2 of the NGSS.
