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
2. @marshallcurry's "Night at the Garden" which helps show why the US was reluctant to join the war b4 1941: plenty of pro-German sentiment:
3. Mussolini's encyc. entry defining Fascism: https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/mod/mussolini-fascism.asp
4. Auschwitz photo album now at Yad Vashem: https://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibitions/album_auschwitz/multimedia.asp
5. Women and the Holocaust website, with lots of powerful primary sources by women survivors not available elsewhere: http://www.theverylongview.com/WATH/
6. My cousin Seymour's testimony on the destruction of his hometown and of all of our family: https://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czyzew/czy0979.html
7. The extremely moving music video made to Yehuda Poliker's Ashes and Dust which Prof. Oren Meyers first turned me onto: , with a workable translation at http://www.hebrewsongs.com/?song=afarveavak
8. My former student Marianne Hughes' digital exhibit on "Sexualized Violence Against Jewish Women During the Shoah": https://arcg.is/141GLX
9. Rose Schindler's testimony to my class 2 years ago:
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/
11. And this does not even count everything online @HolocaustMuseum & in so many other places. I don't want to teach this from behind my computer instead of face to face - stories about human beings require human contact. But it's 2020, and this year is different from other yrs..
@HSGlobalHistory feel free to share this list with teachers!
