Sample Power Point Projects from 2008-2009 Holocaust and Genocide Sample Power Points 2009-2010
 * The goal of this page is to increase knowledge of the Holocaust and other genocidal conflicts throughout the course of Human history.
 * This is not an easy subject to study. Many of the images and situations we study are difficult to understand. Try to remember how lucky you are to be a citizen of the United States. Also keep in mind that many people today do not enjoy our standard of living, and face the horrors we read about in their everyday life.
 * This page will be used as a forum for discussion through Mr. Derillo's Holocaust and Genocide class.
 * The Holocaust was one of the greatest human catastrophes of all time, and the study of this period of history reveals a great deal about everyday people and their actions during traumatic times.
 * [|US Holocaust Memorial Museum]this page will provide students, faculty, and any visitors with links necessary to continue Holocaust and Genocide studies. It will be the starting point for many assignments in class. Students should become familiar with the webpage BEFORE receiving their first assignment.
 * [|remember.org] is another great site with loads of information.
 * As the year progresses, we will continue to add links, images, and assignments to this page.
 * A discussion of the book, **//__Ordinary Men,__//** by Browning will be continually updated as we progress through the book.
 * We will participate in two group projects. One will cover specific elements of the Holocaust. The class will be split into groups, and topics such as ghettos, death camps, rescuers, and resisters will be researched.
 * The final phase will deal with researching genocides that have occurred since World War II.
 * If time permits we will interview Holocaust survivors from Middlesex County, NJ, and create a documentary of our experiences.
