The USC Shoah Foundation Institute has made the following lessons and exercises available online to help teachers make effective use of video testimony in the classroom.

The Pyramid of Hate Exercise
This classroom exercise is designed to help educators teach students ages 14-18 about the effects and consequences of bigotry and intolerance. The exercise integrates first-person testimonies from the Institute's archive with the Pyramid of Hate, a curricular tool developed by the Anti-Defamation League for its A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE® Institute. Through this exercise, students will explore their own attitudes about, and experiences with, prejudice and bigotry; examine the individual's roles and responsibilities regarding ethnic, racial, and religious bias; think critically about examples of prejudiced attitudes, acts of prejudice, discrimination, violence, and genocide.
