Below - a video about the escalating persecution of Jews in Germany, culminating in the shocking 'Kristallnacht' - or Night of Broken Glass in 1938.
A panel discussion about how 'ordinary men' became mass killers during the Holocaust. Not essential viewing, but a good extension for those interested.
Task for today's lesson:
Read page 70-71 of the reader.
Why do you think so few men took up the offer to sit out and not participate in the mass killing?
Why did some not feel they had a choice?
What role do you think anti-semitism played in allowing this atrocity to occur?
