Children's Holocaust Project

As all of you know, Miss Lou visited the Holocaust museum at Washington D.C. in March. (Who remembers what the acronym D.C. means? And no Kelvin, it does not stand for Donna Karen! :)

The Children's Holocaust Project is located on the ground floor of the museum. The entire wall is covered with hundreds and hundreds of colorful tiles. Each tile was originally designed by children who learned about the Holocaust. Some children drew what made them sad. Other children drew symbols to show what they believe. Many children wrote about their feelings using words and phrases.

If you had to make a tile, what would your tile look like?

A few questions to research about:

1. Why did the Holocaust happen? What year did it take place?

2. Which countries and rulers were involved?

3. What happened to the children during the war?

4. How did the Holocaust end? Was it good or bad?

5. How do you feel about the Holocaust?

Hmm...do you think there are problems in our life that makes you angry, want to fight or argue?

What are ways you deal with your feelings and problems?
