Germany was a modern and civilized nation; nevertheless, the "final solution" to the Jewish question was genocide. You will examine the stages of Jewish persecution during WWII and see how one family's plan to avoid German occupation detailed in what we know today as //The Diary of Anne Frank//.

**This assignment is worth 2 TEST GRADES!!!!** During this Holocaust Wequest, we have only scratched the surface of the prejudice and unwanted hatred that saturated the Nazi controlled territories. There is much to learn about this horrific event and how it forever altered the lives of those who were persecuted. My hope is that you leave this unit with an understanding of the events that led to this tragedy, a mental image of the atrocities that occurred as a result of one man's hatred and an appreciation for the depth of various reading selections from this period. Most importantly, I hope that you develop a stronger desire for tolernace of others ad justice toward all.
