Overview
About this Lesson
This lesson is a student-driven learning project based on the stories of individual partisans that makes use of our Explore the Partisans section and other resources from the Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation’s website. We encourage educators to implement the Understanding Resistance lesson prior to beginning this project to ensure that students have built sufficient foundational knowledge about the partisans.
The project culminates in a student-created classroom museum exhibition about the Jewish partisans. Through the careful exploration of individual partisans’ experiences, students can arrive at a larger understanding and appreciation of the Jewish resistance movement during the Holocaust.
