To understand what was lost in the Holocaust, we need to know what existed. Who were the Jews of Europe before WWII? Echoes & Reflections is proud to launch a new, unique lesson on Prewar Jewish Life in redesigned Unit 1. The centerpiece of the lesson is an exploration of the prewar lives of six teenagers from different countries, expressed in their own words through diary entries and other primary and secondary source material. This glimpse into their worlds allows students to see them as individuals and as teens, creating empathy and deepening understanding of the diversity of prewar Jewish life. During this webinar, Sheryl Ochayon of Yad Vashem will guide participants through key elements of this new lesson to support classroom instruction.
