This unit is complete with a daily Instructional Guide for teachers, turnkey student-facing materials, lists of or links to any necessary resources not created by the authors, and a post-assessment. During this unit, students will explore what persecution and prejudice look like through the lens of the Holocaust. They will explore historical sites and dates through a variety of ways to include virtual field trips, Nearpod, and videos. Students will explore what being a good neighbor is like and how prejudice and can change people. Students will gain an understanding of how many people died in the Holocaust by the example of the Paperclip Project.
