Presentation transcript:

The New England Holocaust Memorial consists of six glass towers, each representing one of the six main death camps. Etched in each tower are quotations from Holocaust survivors and witnesses.

In your groups: For each quotation on your handout, consider the following questions: 1.Why do you think each of these three quotations was chosen? 2.How does each add to our understanding of: a. Auschwitz and other death camps? b. why people allowed the Holocaust to happen? c. how we might keep such things from happening again?

II: Small Group Task: Create a Memorial With your triad, begin considering the meaning and message of Night by creating a miniature “ memorial ” of what you have witnessed through reading, exploring and discussing the novel. The committee that created the New England Holocaust Memorial chose two quotations for each of the six main death camps. If they had asked you to choose a quotation from Night for the tower that represents Auschwitz-Birkenau, what quotation would you have selected? If they had asked you what is the most lasting image in your mind of the experience of the people sent there, what would it be?

T ake a few moments to: 1.Discuss and decide together what you feel is the ONE most important passage/quotation in the ENTIRE novel that you feel best expresses or summarizes Elie Wiesel ’ s message. 2.Discuss and decide together what you feel is the ONE most LASTING image … the image you will NEVER forget and that you feel best captures the experiences of Elie and the other prisoners. … THEN, and only THEN … 3.Creatively place the image and the quotation (in a viewable and readable size) on large paper that will be displayed/presented as our ‘ class memorial ’. 4.Be prepared to justify your choices and explain how your memorial not only represents Elie ’ s experiences but also his message. Remember to think about why he is writing this book. What is the message he wants you to hear?
