Over the course of nine days, they are exploring questions about history, memory, and legacy that are at the core of our work. With the help of Polish and Jewish scholars, witnesses to history, community activists, politicians and journalists, as well as organizations that have worked with Facing History throughout the past 25 years, they will be challenged to think in new ways as we confront the past and struggle with questions about the present and future. On Monday, Leora and the group visited the [Treblinka](http://www.muzeumsiedlce.art.pl/pl/site/490/493/494/muzeum.walki.i.meczenstwa.w.treblince.html)extermination camp.

It’s about the size of a quarter and it has the silhouette of a solitary candle carved out of the middle. Written around the candle are the words **Remember** and **Never Again.** It’s a simple, yet powerful design. A student, noticing this, asked me why I often wore it and what it meant. Instead of answering the question directly, I turned it back to her. I told her that a friend of mine had bought it for me at the [United States Holocaust Memorial Museum](http://www.ushmm.org/) in Washington D.C. and I asked her why we study the Holocaust. Why do we need to remember?

The case study of South Africa is an important one to introduce students to ideas about global citizenship, while teaching about the formation and strategies of the anti-apartheid movement.

My journals were filled with maps of all the places I “discov ered” during my summers up north. As the years went by and I entered high school, the journal’s pages of maps became dotted with anecdotes from my life beyond that lake. It was around this time that I found a copy of [*The Journey is the Destination: The Journals of Dan Eldon*](http://onnetwork.facinghistory.org/infusing-your-classroom-with-colour-facing-history-at-the-ago/)at a local bookstore.

As a teacher, I was interested in this workshop for two reasons: to learn more about these artists and to discover new strategies to incorporate art into my teaching practice.

With this in mind, I began to plan my unit on the [Armenian Genocide](https://www.facinghistory.org/topics/armenian-genocide). This genocide occurred almost 100 years ago under the cloak of WWI in 1915, when the Ottoman government embarked upon the destruction of its Armenian population. I decided that to give voice to this genocide beyond readings and documentaries, I would invite a guest speaker from the Armenian community.

They are not meticulously planned, nor are they teacher-driven. Sometimes the best lessons – the best *teaching* moments – come from our students; it is then that we, as educators, find ourselves taking a step back and letting *them* teach *us*.

And suddenly I had to realize that my own grandfather was one of them.*** > Ursula Boeger, granddaughter of Friedrich Wilhelm Boger, Officer at Auschwitz Concentration Camp **"The Ghosts of the Third Reich"** documents the poignant and anguished stories of descendants of the Nazis as they confront their family's past and communicate their most profound feelings of guilt by inheritance. These individuals, whose family members were supporters, officers, and elite of the Nazi regime, share a common desire to distance themselves from Nazi ideology and the actions of their ancestors; and to liberate themselves from the guilt, shame, and pain that continue to levy a heavy price seventy years later. The confrontation with the inheritance of the Nazi legacy is powerfully evoked further in the inclusion of moments from The Austrian Encounter, a focal point for dialogue between descendants of Nazi perpetrators and survivors of the Holocaust. **Directed by**: Claudia Ehrlich Sobral and Tommaso Valente **Produced by**: SD Cinematografica **Duration**: 45' **Format**: HD DVD [http://www.sdcinematografica.com/index.php?code=prodotti\_pagina\_11\_540](http://www.sdcinematografica.com/index.php?code=prodotti_pagina_11_540) *See the trailer:* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAYgkHx8Tn8 Educators with library access may contact [Jeannette Slater](mailto:jeannette_slater@facing.org?Subject=Request%20for%20Ghosts%20of%20the%20Third%20Reich) at *jeannette\_slater@facing.org* if they would like to borrow this resource.
