Yad Vashem
 
 



We present here a variety of materials to assist educators in teaching about and commemorating this important date:

Classroom Activity: "Liberation and Survival" (for students in Grades 7-9).
In this classroom activity, students explore different aspects of how survivors experienced liberation, through a close reading and discussion of selected testimonies. To view the activity, click here 

  
Ceremony: "Liberation and Survival" (for students in Grades 7-9).
This ceremony explores the experiences of Holocaust survivors, during and after liberation. We recommend prefacing this ceremony with the classroom activity about survival and liberation. You can, however, use the ceremony on its own, if you choose. To view the ceremony, click here
