Project Reflection One





For this project, Cinthya and I decided to work together. We were both interested in learning and researching about The Holocaust. So, we looked at some of the objectives we would like to research further. The three we decided on were:

1. Compare the varying perspectives of victims, survivors, bystanders, rescuers, and perpetrators during the Holocaust.
2. Explain how WWII and the Holocaust led to the creation of international organizations to protect human rights, and describe the subsequent impact of these organizations.
3. Assess the responses of the United States and other nations to the violation of human rights that occurred during the Holocaust and other genocides.

Then, we saw there was no preset essential question that encompassed these objectives, so we created our own. Our central idea for the project is “How did the different groups affected by the Holocaust respond, and how did the United States and other countries respond? Was it enough?”

The format of the project will be a Prezi because we feel it will be able to best convey the severity of the Holocaust as well as what each group felt (Objective 1). Then we can lead into the organizations and actions of nations in reaction to the Holocaust (Objectives 2 and 3).
