Watch the track talk so that you understand I am not being unkind with my subject line.  Thank you Ms. Moore for sharing this story with us.  After watching this video I  have two questions.  How do you approach Holocaust education and separately, what objects do you use to engage your students in that material you are teaching? 
My answers to my questions are as follows.  After participating in a TOLI seminar in New York I try to focus on personal accounts of the Holocaust.  I have some pieces of the Berlin wall that i love to share and a slough of pictures.  Also I like to bring home map puzzles in the languages of the international places I visit.

    I am a Montessori teacher and our methodology utilizes key experiences, spark the imagination stories etc to begin discussions and activities surrounding our integrated curriculum.  Your talk was perfect, and hits so many areas of impressions for the child/student.  These added dimensions assist in experiencing , learning and understanding an important yet sensitive topic.  Our peace curriculum embraces this and I appreciate your approach.  Our current curriculum includes the themes of perseverance and peaceful resistance.  The connection of Anne Frank who was a Montessori student and drew wonderful mandalas through her studies in geometry, of course her diary and other facts we know is always a unique discussion.
