Surviving the Holocaust - Lesson End

The title of this module is:
How did they survive?

LESSON END:


As you toured this module you met six survivors. There is much to learn by considering how they survived. Each had a different experience to share, and you discovered some of the ways in which they survived. Although you can begin to build an understanding of how survivors remained alive here, it is necessary to point out that you should not form generalizations about all survivors from such a small number. If you wish to learn more about this topic, delve deeper. Read about the the Holocaust, tour "HopeSite" (http://www.hopesite.ca) or other Internet resources. Most importantly, seek to learn more about other individuals who faced the Holocaust and survived. And, if you learn something new, share it here (To find out how, see below).

In the beginning of this module you were asked to list (or e-mail to yourself) the ways in which you thought a person could survive the Holocaust. Now that we are at the end of this module, there are questions we invite you to ask yourself. Doing this will help you to integrate what you learned in this module into your own thinking.

  • Did your survival list match what you learned from this module? How so?
  • Did you learn something surprising, or were your thoughts confirmed?
  • What DID you learn from this module?
  • Did the questions you had at the beginning get answered, or do you now have even more? What are they?
  • If you could talk to these survivors, what would you like to tell them?
  • And perhaps most importantly, how have you been inspired to make a difference today? How? Why?

It is our hope that this "Lesson End" will become a place where module participants will post their reflections and feelings about this topic so that others can be inspired.

Please take a moment to thoughtfully complete an e-mail and send it to us. The Holocaust Education E-Learning Center will post a sample of your postings on this page. Help others to learn, add your thoughts! Thank you.
