Welcome all!! As part of my educational rounds project I am required to present my findings concerning film use in a Senior History classroom. I've decided to scrap the ordinary route of presenting through a slideshow, pamphlet or report. I have decided to post my project in a blog where I will be able to share the various film links and websites I have discovered during my research. Enjoy!

Interviews with those who have lived it.

This is a great example of a powerful short clip that can be shown in the classroom. It is straight to the point, contains historical fact and provokes emotion towards the subject.
The following video is a selection from an interview with twin girls (now grown women) who have survived the Holocaust. The twins were six years old when they were brought to Auschwitz with their mother in 1944. The two girls were subject to Nazi experiments. Both lived to tell their story.
