Why did Adolf Hitler target the Jews?
• What is a scapegoat? • How did Hitler convince most of the German people to support his plan of Jewish extermination? • How did the Nazi’s de-humanize the Jewish prisoners? Include additional questions for discussion. Students will ask many questions during the oral presentation or Ms. Jagermann’s account. Cautions and Concerns: It is an excellent idea to obtain parental support for this lesson. I also usually make my administration aware when I conduct this lesson.
