Final Shoah Project
To Every Number, I Give a Name
Final Project, Shoah Unit
For your final project for this unit, you will bring the story of the Shoah to life. It will be your task to tell the story of the Shoah through the eyes of a fictional character. You may write in either 1st person or 3rd person limited Point of View.
To be included in your narrative:
1. A biography of your character, including: name, birthplace (a city in Germany, Austria, Poland, Ukraine, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, or France.), age, parents names and professions, siblings/children/extended family, religious observance, languages spoken, and socio-economic status. Your character must be old enough to see and understand what is going on.
2. Life before the War. (1933-39) What was your character’s childhood like? Please remember that Germany will be different from the rest of Europe. Eastern Europe has a very rich Jewish life in this time period.
3. Life in Ghettos/Hiding. This is also the period of the Einsatzgruppen.
4. Concentration/Labor/Death Camps.
5. Recovery/DP camps/or not
6. Message to the World. Having experienced what they have, what message or wisdom does your character want to pass on?
To help you form the narrative of 2-5, you must include:
1. 5 incidents of people (either your character or otherwise) demonstrating individuality as shown by Zelda’s poem (see attached)
2. Moments of resistance – physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, etc.
3. 2 Multimedia components – 2D only. Pictures, maps, diagrams, etc.
You may need to do more research than we have done. I have attached a list of recommended sites. If you want to go “off-list” please check with me or Mr. Williamson to verify its accuracy.
EAQs
(Easily Anticipated Questions)
Q: Can I work with a partner?
A: No. I want this to show your individual work.
Q: How long does it have to be?
A: In short, as long as it needs to be. I don’t believe it could be done well in fewer than 5 pages, and it could easily go far longer.
Q: When is it due?
A: Early May. Precise date TBA?
Q: Will you look at it before then?
A: Yes. All students must schedule 2 check-in meetings either before school, during tutorial, or during lunch. These check-ins will be graded.
Q: How much is it worth?
A: Because of its size, it is worth 2 project grades, plus the two check-in grades (which will be homework grades)
Q: How can I present it?
A: In an album or small 3 ring binder. The project must be neat and protected.
Q: Does spelling/grammar count?
A: YES!
Q: What are you grading on?
A: I will be looking at the following:
1. Have you written a historically plausible story that shows good understanding of the Shoah and how it was different in different places?
2. Have you written an original story about a unique individual?
3. Have you incorporated all mandated components of your assignment?
4. Is your project compelling and interesting to read?

Today's Resources
The book and movie I mentioned are those below:
The book is "Hana's suitcase"
The movie is "Inside Hana's suitcase"
It is sad that Hana died, age 13, in Auschwitz. However, the book and movie also carry a message of hope and peace that is very uplifting.
Enjoy your weekend. On Monday, everything turns around.

Field Trip Bonus
Thank you all for your good behavior and attention on today's field trip.
If anyone would like to turn in a paragraph on their reactions to the film, I will give bonus points.
Sample paragraph topics might be:
Is saying "I'm sorry" enough?
What is the difference between a bystander and an oppressor?
Is it better to leave a bad situation or stay and try to fix it?
Was Dr. Bloch's guilt justified?
Thank you all again.

God Project
Performance Assessment – The God Unit
You are an artist commissioned to be part of the “GOD” installation, a museum designed to show the many faces of God. Your mission is to create a work of art that the guests will find understandable, meaningful, and moving.
Task 1: Create a prospectus. This will be a proposal of your planned art display, including the names of God you intend to use, the size and media, and an idea of the eventual composition. This part of the assignment will be due on Monday, January 31st.
Task 2: Create a work of art that displays your relationship to, and understanding of, God. The work must include at least 5 names of God (1 that we discussed in class, 3 that are on the distributed list but did not discuss, and 1 that you generated yourself.) The names of God must be readable, but may be in English or in Hebrew, and of any size. The work must also include artistic elements that show your understanding of the nature of God.
Task 3: Write a passage that will accompany the artwork. This will include why you chose the names you did, reasons for artistic decisions such as color, size, relationship of position, artistic additions, etc. This should be at least 1 typed, double spaced page with standard margins and MLA heading.
Task 4: Create a smaller, “About the artist” work and paragraph. This should display God's understanding of you at this time in your life. This part of the project must be 2D.
Tasks 2-4 will be due on February 14th.

Monday's Quest
For Monday's quest, you should know:
1. Hebrew vocabulary
2. The content of the answers on the packet
3. How all those answers are tied together.
If you worked diligently in class, and paid attention in today's review, it will be just fine.
The format will be:
1. A vocabulary MATCHING section.
2. A short answer section that is checking for factual recall.
3. A couple of questions designed to check for conceptual understanding.
4. Bonus Questions
Some of you have asked if this will count as a quiz or a test. I have decided to model "מידת רחמים" in my decision. If the grade OVERALL does well, it will be a test so that you all get the maximum benefit. If the grade OVERALL does badly, it will be a quiz so that you won't be hurt as badly.
Ms. Schwartz
BTW: If you write, at the bottom of your quest, the translation of the Hebrew in the above paragraph (which can be found in your packet) - i.e. Ms. Schwartz modeled ____________________ - it will be worth 3 bonus points.
