The Jewish Foundation for the Righteous offers a set of classroom posters on the rescue of Jews by non-Jews during the Holocaust. This set conveys a crucial message: that the Righteous are not just heroes from the past, but also role models for the present. The posters underscore this idea by linking individual rescuers to character traits exemplified in their stories – traits that are well-known and within reach to young people. The posters are available in English. A version in Spanish will be available in the winter of 2020.
The JFR poster set on rescue is being used in classrooms and Holocaust centers across the country and abroad. The poster set has been published in Croatian and Polish and is being used in secondary schools in both countries. We are pleased to offer this unique educational resource. The handouts are needed if you are using the suggested approaches from the Teachers’ Guide that accompanied your poster set.
By exhibiting these traits in their efforts to save Jews, ordinary people transcended their own limitations and the obstacles that stood in their paths.
By affirming the potential they have to show courage or ingenuity or self-sacrifice in their own lives, students will realize that these traits transcend the confines of history.
