Holocaust Project

In this project students will locate 25-30 Holocaust Concentration Camps. These camp locations will be placed on a map of Europe with various information about each camp. These Concentration Camps are then classified through the use of a Legend. Students will also link seven different Concentration Camp locations to video testimonies from Holocaust Survivors.

Students worked independently on this project receiving only verbal directions throughout the entire project demonstrating their ability to utilize GIS software effectively.
