I plan to use the 37 histories of children during the holocaust and assign one to each of my students. I will remove the end paragraph the tells whether they survived until the end of the unit. I will be referring to "their child" throughout the lessons including writing assignments/journaling from their child's perspective so that they end up identifying and caring more directly about their fate.

However, I wish you would provide information for teachers of younger elementary age school children. I saw a lot for older children. I want to do something with 3rd through 6th. I did see that some of the things said 8 and up. I wish you would divide your lessons and activities into age groups. This is an important lesson for all ages. Thanks for doing it.

The only comment I have is that there are many personal testimonies to choose from (over 52,000.) However, it seems that a feature film might also be a useful way to introduce the topic. We are working with a Survivor right now to adapt his book into a film and are very focused on making sure its a useful tool for educators in the future. (For example, Schindler's List seems to be too long for use in the classroom.) It would be good if you could provide a list of feature films for teachers to consider using or the rationale if you disagree.
