THE QUEST



Understanding the Holocaust – A WEBQUEST

List your Group Members here:

Your task is to learn about the Holocaust. Discover its history. Discover bystanders, perpetrators, victims, and rescuers. Learn about places and people and important events. Discover how the Holocaust started and what happened during the Holocaust from the rise of the Nazis to Kristallnacht to Life in the Ghetto to the Camps to Liberation. Learn about Liberators and WWII in general. Discover some information on Judaism. Become educated about an important part of history and the literature written about it.

Directions:

1. Within your group, decide on and divide the questions and group of terms that each person will research.

2. Research, and take notes.

3. Do NOT copy and paste your answers. This is cheating, illegal, and just wrong. Read the information, and put it in your own words. (Obviously, you will record dates, events, etc., but write the summary of the content in your own words.)

4. After you research your questions, you will write your answers.

5. Lastly, you will present the information to the rest of your group – since you will be the ‘expert’ on your questions and terms, be prepared to answer your group’s questions.
