VOICES OF THE HOLOCAUST
Illinois Institute of Technology,Galvin Library
In 1946, Dr. David P. Boder, a psychology professor from Chicago's Illinois Institute of Technology, travelled to Europe to record the stories of Holocaust survivors in their own words.
Over a period of three months, he visited refugee camps in France, Switzerland, Italy, and Germany, carrying a wire recorder and 200 spools of steel wire, upon which he was able to record over 90 hours of first-hand testimony. These recordings represent the earliest known oral histories of the Holocaust, which are available through this online archive.
HOLOCAUST EDUCATION VIDEO TOOLBOX
Yad Vashem - The World Holocaust Memorial Centre, Jerusalem
The Holocaust Education Video Toolbox is designed to help educators teach the Holocaust. The focus is on methodological and pedagogical suggestions that aid with this often daunting task, as well as practical materials and discussion points for classrooms and groups - hence the name, Video Toolbox. In choosing the various topics, we have drawn on our experience with a global audience of teachers at the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem.
The videos are divided into 5 main sections:
- Fundamentals: These videos lay out some of the foundations of Holocaust education as we see them at the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem.
- Witness Testimony: These videos detail the various uses for testimony and testimony films in the classroom.
- Online Resources: These videos focus on items on Yad Vashem's website, demonstrating their various educational uses.
- Published Materials: These videos profile some of our published educational materials, demonstrating how these might be used in the classroom.
- Echoes and Reflections: These videos introduce lessons from the Echoes and Reflections educational program.

TEACHING THE HOLOCAUST USING SPORTS
Incoporating examples from the world of sports into Holocaust education makes the point that the Holocaust happened in the modern world – a world where there were sports teams, stars and cheering crowds. It is also current and familiar to many students' lives. This is one way we can bridge the gulf between the Holocaust as a massive historical event and the Holocaust as a human story.
