Throughout this module you will discover some of the things people did to survive the Holocaust. Before you begin, stop to consider - what ways do you think a person could use to survive? We suggest that you take a moment to jot down a list of your ideas. If you like, you could just e-mail your ideas to yourself. You will gain a deeper understanding of the question "How did they survive?" if you think about how one could survive the Holocaust - before you hear from the survivors. At the end of this module you will asked to compare your thoughts to what you learned through this module.

(A technical note: when the e-mail window pops open, be sure to address your e-mail to yourself! Your thoughts will remain confidential, they will only go to the e-mail address you specify. We will keep no record of them).
