Lesson Plan

Until Then I Had Only Read about These Things in Books..." - The Story of Uri Orlev

This lesson plan highlights the personal story of Uri Orlev, a Holocaust survivor, who became a writer and translator in Israel. The story, based on his book “The Sandgame,” is told from Uri’s viewpoint as a child. His dreams, hopes and ambitions are described, along with his experiences in the ghettos, hiding, the death of his mother, etc. Designed for pupils in grades 5-6.

Ceremony

Witnesses and Testimony
In the Holocaust’s aftermath, many survivors felt compelled to relate and give eyewitness Zwi Bacharach

accounts of those dark days, to pass on testament to future generations. In this ceremony we relate the experiences of two Holocaust survivors and their families - one from Germany and one from Italy - as told in their own words.
