Designed to integrate into Social Studies, ELA, or character development curriculum, it can be taught in conjunction with teaching about the Holocaust or as an independent lesson. Topics include the impact of antisemitic attacks on American society as a whole, the vast diversity of modern Jewish life, and how to be a strong ally.
