Aim of this research:
Teaching Holocaust history demands a high level of sensitivity and awareness of the complexity of the subject matter.

In Part 1, Beginning to investigate, students identify the five topics they can choose from and they are given guidelines on how to write the report and to gather basic information about their topic.
In Part 2, Investigating–class time, students choose one aspect of the Holocaust, research from a website and make notes about key points, write up their findings, reflect on what they have read and written, and present their projects.
