Dear 9I,

Your task is to design and evaluate a memorial for the Holocaust. Think about who the target audience is and what you’re trying to achieve. Also consider what the memorial might consist of. Remember: it could be something physical (like a statue or monument), something artistic (like a song or a painting), something educational (like a museum), something social (like an event) or something else!

The key thing is that you assess your own ideas. What are the strengths and weaknesses of remembering the holocaust in this way? Compare your ideas with those of others in the class or look at the links below to see how others have helped to remember the past!

The handout is here: Holocaust Memorial Task

Internet links

There is loads of good information on the internet in case you’re short of ideas. Try these:

• Wikipedia list of Holocaust memorials
• Memorial Museums
• Miami Beach Holocaust Memorial

If you find others then leave a comment!
