Eighth Grade Holocaust Unit

Through our research from the United States Holocaust Museum Website, Voices of the Holocaust and many other non-fiction books about the holocaust, students will attempt to answer the following questions: How did the Holocaust happen in the first place? How were the victims persecuted? What was the resistance to the Nazis during the holocaust? Why should we remember the holocaust? Who was responsible for the holocaust?

I Was There
In 1933 Hitler came to power but how did it affect the people of Germany? The book I
Was There describes the life of a normal boy in the time of the Nazi rule and his climb from the Jungvolk, Hitler Youth, and finally Military training and service that was driven by Hitler’s demands for country and Fatherland. Covering from 1933 to 1942, a book that tells the most unwanted tale of the Holocaust, the German people’s story.
Author- Hans Peter Richter

Kenley,
You are on the right track. With all these events in mind, what lesson do you think the main character Hans learned from his experience as a Hitler Youth?
