Comparing the Holocaust |
|
|
Jewish people are not the only people who have experienced bias on the basis of race. Several other
groups have also been discriminated against, enslaved or even killed in the name of race. Pick one of
the following groups:
- The Japanese (during WWII)
- Native Americans
- African Americans during slavery
- Rwandans during the mass genocide
- India under British rule, or
- The present treatment of Arab Americans.
Using your Venn Diagram (from the teacher or attachment 1), compare and contrast this group to the
Jews during the Holocaust. Use your research from last class on the Holocaust to provide a starting
point and use the links below to research the other group of your choice. You and your group will
present your findings to the class. |
