Student Testimonials“Beyond simply the development of my reflective writing and thoughts, this unit has taught me to slow down and appreciate people’s life stories as more than stories. I really understood all the testimonies as their lives and empathized with their experiences.”
Student Testimonials“I really enjoyed hearing the actual testimonies of survivors. Last year we didn’t do this and I got a much different education. Hearing actual survivors speak was a fresh, new perspective to look at the Holocaust.”
Life used to be so easy. There always seemed to be an answer to everything. Everything fit into place, getting up at seven o’clock, going to school at eight, coming home at four, doing homework at eight, and finally going to bed at eleven. In my tightly scheduled life I left no time to reflect. In these past four months, however, I’ve been forced to think.
Facing History student:
Student Testimonials“Through experiencing Holocaust education in the way of testimonies (whether that be by book, by video, or by visitors) and simply by learning in such depth, I have come to realize that history is made up by people. History is best told through stories, for it is full of heart. We learn history so that we are not ignorant and so that we can understand how we go to the place where we now reside. And just like experiences in our own lives, we must learn from our mistakes and use them to grow.”
Student Testimonials“Being honest, I’ve studied the Holocaust since 8th grade, I feel that I’m well rounded in the subject, but learning what life was like and watching IWitness was a completely new experience for me. Next year you should keep it like how you teach where it’s less history and more testimonies of daily life.”
“Facing History and Ourselves made me realize that my choices
matter. When I am indifferent, the world loses and I lose. The
world needs me to act. And if my choices matter, then I matter.
That’s a very important lesson to learn as a child and to own as an
adult.”
