PERFORMANCE TASK(S):
You have been asked by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to
prepare an exhibition of anti-Semitism during the Holocaust. Looking at
several different documents concerning anti-Semitism, you will critically
analyze each document, answering questions that will help you frame your
exhibition piece that should include:
Each of these areas will be introduced throughout the unit, along with the
sources and authors to substantiate your exhibitions.
Historical Accuracy
OTHER EVIDENCE:
(What do you see? How is the work organized? What is the artist saying? Is this a successful piece of art?).
Once you have gone through an example, split the students into groups and have them analyze the propaganda
cartoons on their own.
Maus Socratic Seminar
The students should be finished reading Maus by the time you get to this lesson. Students will lead a Socratic
Seminar on Maus and the issues within the novel. Each chapter will be lead by a different student, but each student
is expected to participate in the discussion.
DBQ: Using the documents, describe what anti-Semitism is and analyze how it influenced Nazi ideology
and European society?
Students will prepare an exhibition piece that reflects the above statement. The three sections of the exhibit
should include:
A substantiated definition of anti-Semitism that is rooted in human nature and the human condition.
A presentation on anti-Semitic propaganda, either on indoctrination of the youth or persuasion by the press.
A presentation on the effect of anti-Semitism on society.
Each of these sections will have different documents that the students can use to substantiate their argument and
analysis of anti-Semitism in Europe.
Since this is multigenre in its outlook, students have choices on how they wish to present their findings. Please see
the enclosed paper titled A Brief List of Genres for some ideas for the students.
