DESCRIPTION:The Race and Citizenship in Nazi Germany and Jim Crow US Unit 
 grew out of The Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies, initial
 ly a grassroots effort - for survivors and by survivors- to create a proce
 ss where their stories can be told and preserved. The unit grew out of the
  challenge of centering testimony in high school as opposed to using testi
 mony to briefly illustrate historical themes and how to truly listen to th
 e voices and experiences of the survivors.  Historian John Q. Whitman an
 d the publication of his book, Hitler's American Model provided a gr
 eat counterpoint for the unit, but the testimonies within the unit are the
  root.   The model of this unit evolves around close listening to testim
 onies, construction of historical knowledge, the values and limits of hist
 orical comparative analysis of racial regimes (Jim Crow US and Nazi German
 y), construction of race through laws, and global connections.  The unit 
 was designed for high schoolers but can easily be modified for middle scho
 ol students. Colleen Simon, PhD, has been teaching for 25 years and is cu
 rrently the middle school humanities teacher at Solomon Schechter Day Scho
 ol of Greater Hartford. She received her MAT from Sacred Heart University 
 and her PhD in Holocaust and Genocide Studies from Gratz College. Colleen
  is a USHMM Teacher Fellow and has presented on this particular unit in Lo
 uisiana, South Carolina, and Connecticut.
