A year-long project that includes several parts—making videos and a photograph tour of the local Jewish history in Thessaloniki, creating a Holocaust library for the school, creating an exhibition for students to present their work to the school. The goal: to help students understand the sociopolitical motives that drive people into committing atrocities. I believe that my students learned to recognize prejudiced attitudes, racist behaviors and also developed skills in order to face them off in the future.

Students in Chicago, Berlin, and Skopje explored minorities in each of their cultures, and stereotypes about them. Students first tried to predict what life was like for the students in the other countries (US, Berlin, Macedonia) - many of these were based on stereotypes and they discussed that. They created films about their own schools and cities and shared them with one another. Then they each researched how minorities came to their countries, and interviewed people from those minorities in order to break down stereotypes. They reported back to one another.
