Jewish students seek answers in Art and Tradition](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/where-was-god-during-the-shoah-jewish-students-seek-answers-in-art-and-tradition/) Posted by [Jack Lipinsky](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/author/jack-lipinsky) on April 21, 2013 [![](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/hs-fs/file-4059152522-jpg/blog-files/bk1243_print1-2-300x199.jpg)](https://facingcanada.facinghistory.org/where-was-god-during-the-shoah-jewish-students-seek-answers-in-art-and-tradition/) One of my most powerful childhood memories is seeing "The Ten Commandments" in the original "Cinemascope" at the now demolished Glendale Cinema on Avenue Road. I never forgot the grandeur of the huge screen especially in scene where Moses (Charlton Heston) epically raised his arms with the Rod of God aloft, and the sea crashed down upon the pursuing Egyptians while Pharaoh (Yul Brynner) gasped in awe and said: "The Lord is God." So much for nostalgia. I wonder what Moses would have said watching a synagogues of Germany burn down on Kristallnacht when firefighters stood idle and crowds gathered to gawk? He might well have asked, as do my students, "where was God"?

Differentiated instructions strategies (D.I.) enables teachers to better meet these varied needs and in turn enables students to be successful because their needs are met at their level of readiness, interests and learning styles.

Please read the full post before teaching this. I start by displaying the[ famous photo called "The Last Jew in Vinnitsa."](http://onnetwork.facinghistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/last-jew-vinnitsa-ukraine.jpg)  I say, "This was the title given by the Einsatzgrup soldier in whose pocket it was found, scribbled on the back. Vinnitsa is a small town in the Ukraine whose entire Jewish population was wiped out by the Einsatzgruppen mass killing methods in 1941." This is all I tell my students when displaying this picture. They have already learned about the Einsatzgruppen and read the selection on "Battalion 101" in Holocaust and Human Behaviour Chapter 7 Reading 3 . They have also been taught that there are three groups involved in genocide: perpetrators, bystanders, and victims.

What a sharp contrast their lives are with mine at their age. In my high school history classes, the walls were adorned with old men, mostly with mutton chop whiskers and beards, staring down at me. Each of them had their name, dates of birth and death, and a sour stare that intimidated me when I glanced at them. My teachers reverently cited these old mens' careers and quoted them to the point of endless boredom.

What would possess me to spend so much time reading, talking, and thinking about some of the worst events in human history? My answer to this question has always been inspired by Wangari Maathai’s [Story of the Hummingbird](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGMW6YWjMxw). Like many good stories, the way it is told varies.

One of the most important jobs I have is to teach my students how to "curate" what's out there. My 20 year old son who takes Advertising at OCAD taught me the new meaning of this old word. "Curate" conjures up visions of dusty museum cases and stuffed animals--right? Well, these have gone the way of the dodo, as have the old style museum exhibitions. You've seen the exciting new ways in which curators present information today, especially with the [Royal Ontario Museum](http://www.rom.on.ca/en) so close at hand. The new curators' challenge is to choose and organize what is out there to make the maximum impression on viewers bombarded by visual media. For us, that means teaching our students how not to drown in Google hits, how to separate the wheat from the chaff, and what sites are actually useful to them.
