Hi Larry

Thanks for that!

You might like to add a link to the educational resources page at Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum in Israel www1.yadvashem.org/education/educational_materials.html

I’m reading Number the Stars with two of my sixth-grade classes. Some of these resources will be wonderful additions to our study of life during the Holocaust. Thank you!

Hi Larry,

I’ve just gone to a few links so far and WOW- once again you’ve done a fantastic job collecting resources and creating a very worthy ‘best of’.

On Remembrance Day last year I wrote a blog post with my reflection on visiting the Holocaust Museum in Israel, and I’ve shared it with the link to my name above.

I think this poem is a great conversation starter for students:

“In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;

And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;

And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;

And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up.”
Pastor Martin Niemöller

Thanks again!
