Nazi policies shifted from deportation and imprisonment to extermination of the Jewish people in death camps in the "Final Solution." Learners examine photos of artifacts, read poetry written by survivors, analyze testimony from perpetrators, and listen to survivor interviews. Using these sources, they consider: Who was responsible? What responsibility does history place on us?
