Artifacts 2024
Background:
All of these objects have a local connection to Seattle and the Pacific Northwest – either the survivors or their family members live/lived here. Tell the students that each artifact tells a different story, experience, perspective of the Holocaust. All of these stories contribute to, or help define the Holocaust.
Instructions:
Explore the objects in the gallery using the guiding questions. Take notes on your findings. If done with a group, discuss your responses together. Then, view and read the artifact summary. Feel free to explore the full artifact write up and the related Survivor Encyclopedia page. Discuss how your thoughts or feelings about the artifact changed after learning more about it. Did the “story” change your initial thinking about your artifact? If so, how?
