April is here... So here is a thread on online materials I use to teach about the Holocaust. 1. USHMM video on hist. of antisemitism: https://www.ushmm.org/confront-antisemitism/european-antisemitism-from-its-origins-to-the-holocaust">https://www.ushmm.org/confront-...
2. @marshallcurry& #39;s "Night at the Garden" which helps show why the US was reluctant to join the war b4 1941: plenty of pro-German sentiment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxxxlutsKuI">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
3. Mussolini& #39;s encyc. entry defining Fascism: https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/mod/mussolini-fascism.asp">https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/mod/musso...
4. Auschwitz photo album now at Yad Vashem: https://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibitions/album_auschwitz/multimedia.asp">https://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exh...
5. Women and the Holocaust website, with lots of powerful primary sources by women survivors not available elsewhere: http://www.theverylongview.com/WATH/ ">https://www.theverylongview.com/WATH/&quo...
6. My cousin Seymour& #39;s testimony on the destruction of his hometown and of all of our family: https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czyzew/czy0979.html">https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Cz...
7. The extremely moving music video made to Yehuda Poliker& #39;s Ashes and Dust which Prof. Oren Meyers first turned me onto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Echf4pGAlvs,">https://www.youtube.com/watch... with a workable translation at http://www.hebrewsongs.com/?song=afarveavak">https://www.hebrewsongs.com/...
8. My former student Marianne Hughes& #39; digital exhibit on "Sexualized Violence Against Jewish Women During the Shoah": https://arcg.is/141GLX ">https://arcg.is/141GLX&qu...
9. Rose Schindler& #39;s testimony to my class 2 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOAUW3eXvDw">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
10. Story on Rose Schindler from last year, before and after Poway, including clips with my students: https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/inspiring-san-diego-holocaust-survivor-finds-life-purpose-fulfilling-a-family-promise/134458/">https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/loca...
11. And this does not even count everything online @HolocaustMuseum & in so many other places. I don& #39;t want to teach this from behind my computer instead of face to face - stories about human beings require human contact. But it& #39;s 2020, and this year is different from other yrs..
