The curriculum is based upon using the Holocaust to explore all sorts of themes about identity, persecution, marginalization, etc. I have to admit that a lot of it feels familiar, but I still think I'm getting a lot out of it. Yesterday we read "The Bear That Wasn't" and discussed it, we created identity boxes, and we heard from a speaker on Jewish culture in Eastern Europe before the Holocaust. Now, I've read the Bear book, done ID boxes, and taken a college course on Jewish Life in Eastern Europe...but I still felt the time was well-spent.
