All materials are available in English and French in accessible formats.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Oral History<\/li>\n<li>Gender and Sexuality<\/li>\n<li>Religion and Culture<\/li>\n<li>Antisemitism and Racism<\/li>\n<li>Memory and the Holocaust<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The first module, \u201cOral History,\u201d focuses on survivor testimony ranging from the Nuremberg Trials to the present, and on the role of oral history in making space for as many voices as possible in the historical record. The second module, \u201cGender and Sexuality,\u201d focuses on how gender and sexuality function within the history of the Holocaust in terms of national socialist ideologies and policies and how these worked together in shaping the behaviour and experiences of perpetrators, bystanders, and victims. The third module, \u201cReligion and Culture,\u201d examines Jewish, Christian, and Muslim responses to the Holocaust, how Nazi ideology and policy engaged each religion and religious community, how religious leadership responded to national socialism and the fact of the Final Solution, and the role of Righteous Gentiles. The fourth module, \u201cAntisemitism and Racism,\u201d explores how anti-Jewish and antisemitic attitudes, behaviours, and policies develop over time and assesses how these contributed to the genocide against Europe\u2019s Jewish populations. Inspired by the ways in which our new oral histories explore the theme of memory among survivors, the second generation, and the family of Righteous Gentiles, the last module, \u201cMemory and the Holocaust,\u201d reflects on how the Holocaust is remembered, and how that memory has been shaped over time in Canada and globally.<\/p>\n<p>These modules work together to offer a contextualized learning experience of the Holocaust while highlighting what is at the core of this project, the survivors\u2019 stories.<\/p>\n<h2>Oral Histories in Context<\/h2>\n<p>Each module places oral histories in context through mini-lectures and by bringing the oral histories into conversation with other oral histories by using primary archival sources such as documents, photographs, artefacts, and historical film footage.<\/p>\n<p>Students will interact with the material through content such as timelines, maps, and \u201chot-spot\u201d images that allow students to click through to learn more about an artefact or topic. Sample assignments and questions are included throughout the project.<\/p>\n<h2>Access the Online Modules<\/h2>\n<p>Explore the project and select materials to use to enrich your own teaching.<br \/>\nEnglish:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub\/hearourvoices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub\/hearourvoices\/<\/a><br \/>\nFrench:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub\/ecouteznosvoix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub\/ecouteznosvoix\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hear Our Voices: Holocaust Survivors Share their Stories of Trauma and Hate is a bilingual online course that uses the voices of Holocaust survivors to educate students on the Holocaust and Antisemitism.\u00a0This bilingual project begins with a scholarly and ethical commitment to centre the experience of survivors and Jewish victims in studying and teaching about [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":52,"featured_media":0,"parent":7650,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Phase 1 - Hear Our Voices - Max and Tessie Zelikovitz Centre for Jewish Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hear Our Voices: Holocaust Survivors Share their Stories of Trauma and Hate is a bilingual online course that uses the voices of Holocaust survivors to\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/jewishstudies\/hear-our-voices-project\/phase-1-hear-our-voices\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/jewishstudies\/hear-our-voices-project\/phase-1-hear-our-voices\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/jewishstudies\/hear-our-voices-project\/phase-1-hear-our-voices\/\",\"name\":\"Phase 1 - Hear Our Voices - Max and Tessie Zelikovitz Centre for Jewish Studies\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/jewishstudies\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-06-19T20:35:04+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-06-19T20:35:04+00:00\",\"description\":\"Hear Our Voices: Holocaust Survivors Share their Stories of Trauma and Hate is a bilingual online course that uses the voices of Holocaust survivors to\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/jewishstudies\/hear-our-voices-project\/phase-1-hear-our-voices\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/jewishstudies\/hear-our-voices-project\/phase-1-hear-our-voices\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/jewishstudies\/hear-our-voices-project\/phase-1-hear-our-voices\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/jewishstudies\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"&#8220;Hear Our Voices&#8221;
