The Pianist - Holocaust Survivor Project

Much of Jewish religious celebration centres around recognizing the past history of suffering and persecution that Jews have endured over the millennia - something unique in Judaism when compared to most other religions.   In fact it is sometimes the basis for modern thinking about Judaism because it still exists in modern times, for example the Holocaust. This leads us to our next task - The Pianist and Holocaust: The Survivor Project Access the project at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x4XyYO7swSHgEl8MVvBuaYCFYpJFeWsp1AE3a-7xh-w/edit As a part of our Judaism unit we are looking at events that hurt, destroy and decimate the Jewish culture … the most significant of these events in recent history is the Holocaust of World War Two. After having watched the film The Pianist, you will try to put their life during World War II into pictures and words. Your task is to capture the life of a Holocaust survivor.
