Key Points
-
Gain teaching strategies and resources to integrate learning experiences that are often left out of Holocaust and WWII curricula
-
Develop an understanding of the intersecting histories of colonialism and fascism in North Africa
-
Gain insight into different forms of resistance to oppression and dehumanization
The intersecting histories of the Holocaust and wartime North Africa illuminate complex ways in which colonialism and fascism impacted Jewish communities across Morocco, Algeria, Libya, and Tunisia.
In this session, we will engage with primary and secondary sources to gain insight into experiences and choices associated with this period in history. Activities will incorporate a focus on the varieties of Jewish resistance, ranging from the voice of an adolescent girl responding to rising antisemitism in Libya to the Jewish underground movement organizing support for the allies in Algeria.
Additional classroom resources for teaching the history of the Holocaust in North Africa will be shared.
This interactive workshop is intended for secondary History and social science classroom teachers.
Individuals who are registered to take the August 11 - 14th Holocaust and Human Behaviour Seminar will have the option to either participate in this workshop session or in a Museum based session on the Holocaust in Western Europe.
This event will be hosted in-person.
