Judgment, Memory & Legacy

As students confront the terrible human atrocities of the Holocaust, and other historical case studies, they explore the meaning of concepts such as guilt, responsibility, and judgment—and what those concepts mean in our world today. Students also discover that one way of taking responsibility for the past is to preserve its memory. They explore the importance of monuments and memorials as communal gestures of remembering, of acknowledging injustice, and of honoring individuals and groups who have suffered.
