There are a number of Holocaust memorials around the world. There is a Holocaust memorial in Baltimore, MD, Washington D.C., and
at several sites around Europe. For this assessment, you will be creating your own Holocaust multimedia presentation. You may choose a Web 2.0 tool to create your multimedia presentation. Holocaust Multimedia Presentation Before you create your presentation, remember that the Holocaust is an example of genocide. Your presentation should focus on the causes, events, and effects of the Holocaust. Your presentation must include: a title at least five photographs dealing with the causes, events, and effects of the Holocaust captions for each photograph that are a minimum of two sentences a one-paragraph summary that explains the impact or effects of the Holocaust on the Jewish population a two to three sentence "call to action" that explains what we can do in the world to prevent future genocides
Causes: Try finding some images of propaganda posters and explain the impact they had on the Jewish community. Then maybe get a picture of Mein Kampf and explain the ideas Hitler was trying to portray in it
Main Events: Here you could get a picture of a Jewish identity card and explain how the Nazid used them. You could also get a picture of a concentration camp and talk about the horrors that occurred in them.
Consequences: Talk about the memorials dedicated to the fallen Jews in the Holocaust, for example Yad Vasheem. You could also talk about the creation of the state of Israel by the UN after the Holocaust.
To answer the "call to action" talk about the "UN Convention on Genocide" document (search that up) and how it helps to prevent genocides. Add some personal opinion in this section
This period of time is known as Black Friday. In 1869, two people named Jay Gould and James Fisk, considering that at the time gold was still used as international currency, sought to corner the gold market by purchasing every single gold unit they could get their hands on. This caused the price of gold to highly rise for a small period of time, but having discovered the scheme of these two, former President Grant released millions of dollars in gold on a Friday. This release caused the price of gold to plummet, and the country entered economic turmoil.
