On Tuesday, May 21st, the Junior class took a trip to the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center. Throughout the tour, students explored various primary sources, including an authentic railroad car. To conclude, students watched a speaker who was a survivor of the Holocaust. It was an eye-opening experience that really deepened students' understanding of the Holocaust.
What the students are saying:
"It was amazing to hear a first-hand account of Nazi Germany and a families escape from a Holocaust Survivor. "
"It was eye-opening to learn about other genocides around the world in the Genocide exhibit."
"The exhibits in the museum were engaging and informative."
"It was neat to see the inside of an actual train car from the time period."
"I liked that they had all of the big ideas and small details that really pieced together the whole story."
"It was nice that it was organized as a timeline; it really helped me visualize the entirety of the Holocaust."
