The Life of Anne Frank 4th-6th Grade

Ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day, observed in April, we invite you to participate in this course specifically curated for young kids beginning to learn about the Holocaust. In this course, we will explore the life of Anne Frank before the war, while in hiding, and the legacy she left the world. We will also examine her family members, the other people in hiding with her, and those on the “outside” who made this survival effort possible for over 2 years.

Author Cara Wilson-Granat will join us for the final session as she discusses her extraordinary twenty-year friendship with Anne’s father, Otto Frank. Students will be introduced to critical thinking, maps, and the complexities study of the Holocaust presents – altruism, spiritual resistance, etc. Students will also learn about propaganda, bias, discrimination and what it means to be a bystander in their everyday lives.
