 The
Shoah Foundation and the Anti-Defamation League have joined Court
TV to create this classroom lesson that teaches about the effects
and consequences of bigotry and intolerance. The lesson integrates
first-person testimonies from the Shoah Foundation's visual history
archive with the Pyramid of Hate, a curricular tool developed
by the ADL for its A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE ® Institute.
Through
this program, 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
Learn
that violence and genocide result from a continuum of hate that
begins with prejudiced attitudes
|
As the core component of the exercise, students match testimonies
with levels on the Pyramid of Hate. By doing so, students
are encouraged to explore and discuss examples of prejudice and
their implications on society. The exercise also incorporates writing
skills, questions for productive dialogue, and historical context
that will help educators to connect the Holocaust and other examples
of genocide to the levels of hate outlined on the Pyramid. If you
have questions or comments, please contact education@vhf.org |
