This unit consists of 27 slides, a teacher's manual, a student workbook, and selected relevant documents suitable for cooperative learning groups and long term research projects. The slides are of photographs taken by a German soldier in the Warsaw Ghetto in September 1941. The slides, which capture the unique and little- known reality of the Ghetto's extraordinarily difficult circumstances, and the related readings taken from diaries and other documents, enable students to gain a sense of life in the Ghetto as it was experienced by the Ghetto residents, with its dilemmas, hardships, doubts, and coping strategies. The teacher's manual and the student's workbook are available in Hebrew, English, Spanish, and German.
