Holocaust and Genocide

     How can mankind be so unkind?  That is the question which has haunted us since the discovery of the "final solution" camps of Buchenwald and Auschwitz.   The 20th century has been notable for its attempts to destroy entire ethnic populations.  Your task will be to memorialize those attempts so that future generations will never forget the resiliency of the human spirit.

The Task:

You are the curators of a holocaust museum.  Your task is to design an effective exhibit that covers the events, people, and places of your assigned area.  Your purpose is to show how diversity and conflict can lead to injustice.

The Process:

Form a group of 3-5 students to organize one of the following virtual museum rooms:

The Product:

Create a virtual museum exhibit for your room that will entice visitors, teach lessons, and promote thinking in your audience.  The rooms should be visually interesting and factually correct.  Any pictures, archives, or information that you get from print or web sources need to be cited.  A list of the "curators" in your group and a bibliography of your research should be included as one of your web pages.

Evaluation:

You will be evaluated on the Accuracy, Content, Objectivity, and  Currency of your displays.  Visual elements, design, consistency, and ease of movement between displays will also be considered.
