The passages are based on Holocaust Memorial Day, which is observed on January 27 every year to remember the victims of the Holocaust and other genocides, and on Holocaust Remembrance Day or Yom HaShoah observed on the 27th day of Nisan, a month in the Jewish calendar.

The passages are:

• The Holocaust and Why It Happened: This passage explains the historical background and the main causes of the Holocaust, the systematic persecution and murder of six million Jews and millions of other people by Nazi Germany and its allies during World War II.
• Who Were The Victims of The Holocaust?: This passage describes the diversity and experiences of the victims of the Holocaust, who included not only Jews but also Roma, Slavs, political opponents, homosexuals, people with disabilities, and others who were targeted by the Nazis for their race, religion, ideology, or identity.
• Honoring the Victims of The Holocaust: This passage explores the ways that people around the world commemorate and honor the victims of the Holocaust, such as visiting memorials and museums, listening to survivors’ testimonies, and participating in educational and artistic activities.

Each passage is accompanied by an answer key.

These passages are ideal for teaching students about the Holocaust and its impact on humanity, as well as developing their reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.

They can be used as independent or guided reading activities, homework assignments, or assessment tools. They can also be integrated into a larger unit on the Holocaust, human rights, or social justice.

This 22-page resource with 26 primary sources, 27 comprehension questions plus 2 DBQ prompts gives students a chance to identify the tensions for women between tradition and progress in the 1920s, along with the new opportunities. The first page includes Background, Notes on Primary Sources and Teacher Notes.

Here’s a chance for students to read documents and look at images that shed light on issues facing women during the Great Depression. These include newspaper pictures and articles about the difficulty of finding work, women's clubs, clothing advertisements, "wandering women", articles about women's need to be in the home, women's lack of equality in society as well as women's right and ability to hold jobs, photos of rural women, African-American women's activities and leisure activities, as well as excerpts from the Social Security Act and an ex-slave narrative. There are, of course, so many more documents and issues of the 1930s but these documents cover a broad range of what women experienced. Many of the political events of the time still minimized, or even excluded, women's input although sometimes women provided reflections, opinions and even participation when possible. Nonetheless, the included primary sources highlight many of the challenges of the era, although they also provide glimmers of progress during a troubled time.

Assign just one, a few or all of the sources depending on time constraints and student interest.

Primary sources include advertisements, photos, newspaper articles, excerpts and other documents. Each page of primary sources includes comprehension questions at the end in order for students to analyze perspectives, consider key ideas and identify bias.

Included is a one-page sheet that explains what primary sources are and how to analyze them using specific questions through a process called HAPPY. There is also a page at the end for students to apply the HAPPY process to one source.

Two DBQ prompts are included at the end with instructions on how to create a response to the prompt.

An Answer Key to all the comprehension questions and the DBQ prompts are available at the end of the packet.

This is excellent practice for all high school students, particularly Honors and AP students, but all students will find these resources engaging.

This is also available as a digital resource through Easel so students may complete it online.
