In this lesson, students evaluate the concept of citizenship.  In whole classroom discussion and smaller groups, students draw distinctions between the benefits and responsibilities associated with citizenship.

Visual history testimonies of Holocaust survivors enhance the discussion by adding the perspective of those who grappled with disenfranchisement under Nazi rule.

Through facilitated exercises, students are provided with the opportunity to consider the consequences of institutionalized discrimination.
