Description: Our Holocaust Memory Project is an adaptable, interactive digital field trip that takes its central cue from one of USHMM’s Guidelines for Teaching About the Holocaust: “Translate statistics into people.” This presentation utilizes the collages, oral testimony, and written testimony of 2 of the survivors from our Holocaust Memory Project to contextualize and humanize the massive suffering of the Holocaust, allowing students unique insight into the lives of individual survivors and the irrevocable impact that the Holocaust had upon their lives.
