Holocaust
Program |
Name: Kristy Becker
School: University of Washington
email: kkbecker@u.washington.edu
Description:
April has Holocaust Remembrance Day, and to honor this, two things can
be done.
This year, we all gathered and watched Schindler's List. This is a
hard movie to watch, but I guarantee you will have a great discussion.
We didn't even have to work at it, people just started
talking. Also, you may be able to find a Holocaust survivor in
your area. We had one come two years ago, and he was amazing to listen
to. Their stories affect you more than a movie ever could, and our
residents really liked the program. These two can also be done
in conjunction with one another, with the movie being shown one night
and the talk the next.
But, that's a lot of heavy information in a short time!
Instructions/Things Needed:
Copy of Schindler's List
Food
Holocaust Survivor
Other Considerations:
May want to have information available if they want to know more. A
few years ago, we had someone show up who didn't believe that the
Holocause happened, and he challenged the speaker. Our speaker
handled it very well, but you should still be cautious!
Food also helps. We did the program on a Friday night, and had a
smaller turnout than I think we would have had on a week night.
