7th Grade Class Update

This week, we continued our unit focused on the Holocaust.  

We began by discussing the concept of Aryan-ness and how Jews were excluded from the Nazi's vision for the German future.  Afterwards, we walked through a timeline of Nazi laws that targeted Jews, emphasizing the gradual progression on anti-Semitic actions taken by the Nazis against the Jews.  Finally, we examined how the Nazis also targeted other groups, such as the Roma, the disabled, and members of the LGBT community. 

The subject material that we have been learning is incredibly difficult, but the students have done an excellent job engaging in a respectful and serious manner.

 Best,

 Morah Hollenberg and Moreh Fidel
