Using archival documents, memoir, and testimony to teach about Jewish families during and after the Holocaust

Carson Phillips suggests the use of archival documents, memoir and recorded testimony to engage students in learning. Use the three survivor testimonies below, from Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Croatia, in conjunction with those in the Gurewitsch essay (pp. 48–55) for a rich and varied look at the fraught experiences of Jewish families struggling to survive and, ultimately, rebuild their lives.
