Present Memories

Grade 5 Programming

With the increase in racial and ethnic problems in the lower grades, this program has been designed to reach these young students on both the cognitive and affective levels in order to dispel hatred before it takes root.

The age-appropriate 60 to 90 minute program includes the video, Daniel?s Story, and a presentation which encourage student participation. The following is a partial list of issues included:

The meaning of the swastika and its ultimate message of annihilation for all minorities.
The Holocaust began with words and name-calling.
A simple history of the Holocaust through posters.
Students? acceptance of responsibility for their actions.
Stereo-typing and ethnic jokes.

It is suggested that teachers supplement the program either prior to or after with discussions, written responses, readings, and/or additional videos.
