Essential Questions:

How did German Jewish citizens become outcasts in the age of the Nazis?
What type of experiences did they have that we need to understand today?

1. Audio/Visual (People to Technology) Locate and describe an audio/visual clip from the
museum.
Information: Watch a special film directed and headed by one of the Lieutenant colonels from
the camps who also directed the movie Anne Frank. This video paints a picture as to what people
went through everyday in the concentration camps. Pause and look at the pictures that are shown
and try to picture yourself in their shoes. Try to connect this video back To Kill A Mockingbird.

3 . Information Seeking: Primary Sources Locate and describe a primary source, such as a
photograph, story, quote, an object, etc.

Information: When in a Concentration Camps the Nazis forced the Jewish people to wear these
Striped Pajamas. When looking at these pajamas I feel for the people who had to wear them
because they had a very thin layer and did not protect from any extreme weather. Question: How
does this make you feel that the people suffered during the cold winter because they did not have
enough clothes.

Information:

were, where would it be and why? After you have guessed look up where it was and see
if you were right.
2. If you were Jewish where would you want to live based on the population and why?
3. Do you think where you lived would have affected your everyday life as a Jew?

2. What do you think made them decide exactly who to hate or who was their ideal person?

6. Literary Connections (Text to Text) Connect a text from inside the museum to a text you
have read, studied, or found.
Information:
When looking at all of the different shoes I could automatically connect them back to two things
we have learned and done in English class. One of them was from To Kill A Mockingbird, when
Atticus says to Scout You never really understand a person until you consider things from his
point of view...until you climb into his skin and walk around in it. This relates back to the shoes
because when looking at them I had to understand what they went through and how much one
pair of shoes could mean to someone. Also in English we had to write an essay that told a story
about a pair of shoes and the journey they went on. This connects back to the shoes because
every shoes we looked at had a story behind them and each pair did not have the same story.
