“No One Breathes Freely Anymore”: The First 6 Months of Nazi Rule

How did Jews in Germany experience and interpret the first six months of Nazi rule? This workshop gives teachers the tools to examine this essential question in their classrooms. 

Beginning with Hitler’s appointment as chancellor in January 1933, participants will examine the key events and legislation of the regime’s first six months and how Jewish individuals understood and responded to them in real time. Working directly with diaries and newspaper articles, participants will engage in primary source analysis which they can then replicate with their own students. 

Teachers will leave with ready-to-use strategies for guiding students beyond the facts of this history and into the human experience behind it, understanding not just what happened, but the thoughts and emotions of those who lived through it.

Workshop Includes:

• 4 CPDU Hours
• Light breakfast and lunch provided.
• Ready to Use Classroom Resources
