Abstract

Learning to analyze primary source documents can enhance students’ understanding of the Holocaust. This lesson provides students with an opportunity to evaluate documents that illustrate “citizen-state interactions” in a case file for Jewish refugees assisted by a refugee organization. To prepare for this lesson, students will learn about the Nazis’ persecution of people with disabilities and the U.S. public charge law to better understand how these policies impacted Jewish refugees during the Holocaust.
