You have been asked to review the interviews of a number of rescuers
to find out why they were concerned with saving the lives of others. What questions do you think most pre-occupied the interviewers? Would you have asked those same questions? Are your questions similar or different?
Use the links and find out what made ordinary men and women act as they did? What made them do it?
As you move along your journey keep asking yourself:
Whose thoughts am I thinking? Are they my thoughts, or someone else's?
Putting your report together
Everyone on your team has found out how different individuals have made choices in some difficult situations during the Holocaust.
You are now ready to start putting together your report.
Take another look at the main question for this WebQuest and discuss as a team some of the possible answers that you can now give.
Give particular thought to how people made their choices and how their choices became acts of rescue and resistance during the Holocaust.
What to use
Before you write your final report, we would like you to ask yourselves these questions and discuss your answers together:
- What makes people able to make choices?
- What makes people act for change?
- What makes some people take actions that can change the lives of others?
- Find out which answers you agree on and which you disagree on. What differences do you have?
Be sure to include any knowledge that you have gained from your research about rescuers.
Look at what was possible in the past and what you might be able to do in the area in which you live - in your town or in your village or in your local community.
