“Presentation of Lives in the Ghetto”
In this activity, students will research residents that lived in Nazi Germany’s ghettos and share their stories with the class.
The majority of Spinelli’s novel follows the lives of Misha and his peers in the Warsaw ghetto. As Nazi German forces invaded countries on the European continent, they established ghettos in major cities in order to separate and isolate—and eventually attempt to decimate—populations they deemed to be unfit. Working in small groups, research survivors of ghettos during WWII and share their stories with the class. Choose one survivor on whom to focus and consider the following questions as you prepare your presentations:
