The Holocaust


Project about the Holocaust

(4-5 points of Matriculation)

Deadline:  __15 December__

(if you need some more time, let me know)

Size: about 1000 words. It can be 6-7 printed pages with pictures downloaded from the Internet. The pictures shouldn't be too big! The front page (with the name of the school, your name, your teacher's name and the school year), the table of contents and the bibliography are compulsory!

Bibliography.

Give the list of the sites and books you have used.


If you use books, write the name of the author, the year and the title of the book.

e.g. Bauer Yehuda, 1998, “Address to Bundestag"

Never copy the material from the same source. If you do, you will get a zero!  Use as many sources, as possible. If you and someone else write identical papers, both of you will get a zero!

 

Oral presentation.

You will have to tell about your work in front of the examiner from the Ministry of Education. Only in English! If you speak Hebrew, your grade will be lowered.

What to write and how to write.

You can write about World War II and European countries, such as Poland, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, etc., where the Jewish suffered from pogroms, lived in ghettos and a great deal of them was killed in the concentration camps. If you have been to Poland write about your experience.  

Here are some detailed questions. You can answer them, so that the project won’t be too difficult for you.
