The Holocaust Museum is an outstanding resource as well
What’s always fascinated me is how Jews were targeted as the enemy. They were both corrupt capitalists from the west and degenerate socialists from the east. Which is ironic given that Soviet socialism and western capitalism were completely different and would later engage in the Cold War. They clearly weren’t in league with each other. And for a few years, Nazi Germany would be allied with the Soviets with the Molotov Ribbentrop pact.
Just proves that facts or critical thinking don’t matter once you’ve convinced a large segment of the population to hate another group. Once they are convinced that one side is always right and one side is always wrong they’ll justify anything. Despite how absurd it is, like western capitalists and eastern Soviets being allied against Germany. So silly.

This exhibition encourages us to think about what propaganda is, how it works, and how to respond when it aims to divide people and promote violence.

you stupid prick.
Take your daughter to;
Melbourne Holocaust Museum, Australia
Museum and Education Centre dedicated to the memory of the six million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators between 1933 and 1945.

Its in Elsternwick, I went there with my girlfriend about 20 years ago, you could still meet and talk with survivors back then. Melbourne and New York had the two biggest communities of survivors outside of Israel and are both centres for studies of the holocaust. I did a couple of semesters on it at uni. Do they still make the high school kids read Elie Wiesel's night? If your daughter is keen on the topic suggest Primo Levi's If this is a Man, one of the most incredible books I've ever read.

Dude I’ve been there. This is more specifically related to the use of propaganda than the holocaust itself. Will look up that book tho for sure ta
Well done, you get a star, a gold star!
Email them, they might be able to put you onto the learning resource. You really are daft, have you signed on for an NDIS plan yet? Get you that carer you need.

Surely, there are survivors still around. Our Jewish community here in Calgary is about 8000 people and there are 120 or so survivors still alive. Obviously, most of them were children, but we have at least 10 or so who were born before 1930.
Yeah probs, back when I went to the museum in the early 2000's there was generally always one or two survivors there volunteering as guides or just happy to have a chat and share there experiences over a coffee with visitors, it was pretty cool. (wrong choice of word but you get what i mean) It was a living history kind of experience, I remember we probably spent more time talking about their life after the camps, about coming to Melbourne being a new Australian all that stuff.
A couple of friends of mine come from families that experienced that diaspora, it was kind of interesting, one of the fella's I used to work with came from a family of Austrian Jews, Pete's pushing 80 now, he will never buy a German car. Another friend of mine Nathan, I remember going to his funeral knowing that he came from a family of survivors, I was kinda worried about showing up in a BMW, but when I got there all of his relatives under 30 all had Audi's and BMW's I kninda thought its funny how within a few generations perspectives can change.

I think at this point most remaining survivors were children during the whole thing. I know when we went to the holocaust memorial in Berlin they had 2 or 3 people there working the museum who were survivors and they were all young children at the time. One guy said his only memory of it all was his father being arrested and then he and his mother and siblings fleeing the country. They were lucky to be reunited with him some years later, he didn't really know how. He said he was maybe 4 or 5 or something at the time. Most of those who were old enough to have vivid memories at this point have passed on.
Side note, the official name of that memorial in Berlin is "Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe" (Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas in German). Pretty on the nose and bleak, and so is the memorial. I recommend a visit if you ever get the chance though. Like a block away from Brandenburg Gate. The Jewish Museum in Berlin, also in the general area, is a really good visit too. Not as well known, but worth a visit if you are there. I could go on an on about places to visit in Berlin though.

It’s fantastic and not overly graphic. It’s not dry. It’s not too long. It’s just a solid interesting book documenting his experiences at Auschwitz (over 7,000 reviews).

This one is also fantastic (over 3,000 reviews). But it’s a bit more graphic than Night.
These two books are some of the best I’ve read on the Holocaust.

As it should. The Holocaust might make kids feel uncomfortable and learn something. We can’t have that. So instead we teach that the Holocaust didn’t happen and that black people were happy being enslaved and god appeared personally to the founding fathers to found the country and write the 2nd amendment….

We took 2 of our kids to Dachau when we were in Germany. It was a very sobering experience for them. My daughter was 14 and now at 20 she still talks about it in hushed tones. It's an entirely different thing to be there and walk the grounds.
I've read both of those books and think they are great. Really well done. That era was terrifying in ways we just cannot comprehend.

If anyone wants to read a story or two of the survivors in different categories(from those who were in ghettos to those who were evacuated), my organization published a book about a decade ago. I know some of the people personally, as well as being close to grandchildren of a few of them.
