I have found the following handouts useful in many of my classes that I have taught on the Holocaust. Click on the following links to either download the files or view them in rich-text format (rtf):
 | Guide to the documentary Schindler. This handout is useful for student who watch this documentary just so that they have a record of the various people whom they saw speak on the documentary. They can then use some of this information in their writing. |
| English text of the film Night and Fog by Jean Cayrol (1956). |
| Names and Title of Persons Appearing in "From the Cross to the Swatiska," Part I of the documentary The Longest Hatred. This handout allows students to remember who they saw after viewing this documentary. |
| Excerpts from Chapters 1 and 7 of Christopher Browning's Ordinary Men. This excerpt describes the first massacre carried out by Battalion 101 of the Order Police on the village of Józefów in central Poland on July 13, 1942. |
| Reasons for Using the Holocaust in a Writing Class. This is a short essay adapted from the introduction to a book manuscript. You may see the entire introduction by clicking here. For more information on this manuscript, click here. |
