Perpetrating the Holocaust: Gaining an Understanding through Archives
Perpetrating the Holocaust: Gaining an Understanding through Archives
This activity uses a restitution document and graphic organizer to help students understand who perpetrated the actions of the Holocaust, particularly as it affected the Weikers family. The Weikers family papers are held in the Detre Library and Archives at the Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh. The archive document comes from the Weikers Family collection, and the accompanying graphic organizers were created by Heinz History Center education staff. More images and documents connected with this family story are available on the Generation to Generation: Family Stories Drawn from the Rauh Jewish Archives website.
