Understanding the Holocaust
Ages 12yr-18yr
Heather Cates
Fall 2023
Social Studies
- World History
Schedule:
Tuesday - Mentoring - 230: 11:00 am - 11:50 am
Description:
This is one of the low points in human history and is not an easy subject to approach. But many things can be learned from looking back at this horrific event that resulted in the extermination of 6 million Jews and millions of other individuals.
We will look at the Nazi party and the years leading up to the Holocaust so that we can understand the historical context of this time period.
Students will explore the human behavior of all individuals involved - from perpetrators to victims, as well as countless others that helped them.
We will attempt to approach this sensitive subject by connecting with testimonies of victims, exploring the thinking of the Nazi regime, and witnessing the unbelievable faith of many Jewish people impacted during these trials.
We will investigate the responsibilities we have to help create a more just, loving, and compassionate world.
Within this course, students will read The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom, Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, and the Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
Parents can choose to have this course be a core class (3-4 hours of homework per week) or as an elective (0-1 hours of homework per week). Both groups will have the same in-class experience but you can choose how much outside work you want your student to have.
*We will have a short period of time at the end of each class period for journaling to help transition back to normal activities.
Requirements:
Students must be able to process challenging topics such as brutality, death, and the sinful depravity of humankind though we will not focus solely on these.

Firmly Planted IGNITE summer camps all start with 30 minutes of group chapel followed by 2 1/2 hours of specialty camps designed to ignite your student's faith. Cost includes a camp t-shirt. Boys 11-18 years old - Coach Matt's goal is to develop champions in life through a structured program based on values, commitment, and skills development; aimed to see these boys grasp and grow into the men of God they're meant to be. The fundamentals of wrestling include basic skills, drills, and techniques in a fun and positive environment. Wrestling is a unique sport because it teaches values that last a lifetime. Wrestling builds character and teaches kids how to overcome obstacles and failure, handle emotions, respect authority, have a strong work ethic, discipline, resilience, accountability, and be a good teammate. Our camp is dedicated to fostering these values in our boys, providing an atmosphere where they can thrive. This program is best defined as "wrestling meets youth group."
Wrestling shoes are not necessary. Please bring plenty of water and socks.
