  Dear Parents/Guardians, As the semester has progressed, the class has begun to study the occurrences, trials, and tribulations of World War II. The next unit we will be covering is the Holocaust and its travesty. Studying the Holocaust in depth is essential to the full understanding of the mass genocide that plagued the Jewish Community. 11 million people lost their lives in the World War II, 6million of which, were Jewish. It is important that students’ are knowledgeable on what happened during the Holocaust, to prevent something like this from happening ever again.

In class we have discussed much of the forefront of the Holocaust however; in order to enhance our students’ understanding of the genocide, I would like to show the film __Schindler’s List__. __Schindler’s List__ accurately portrays the relocation of the Jewish Community to ghettos, labor camps, and concentration camps. The film is very precise, although it is extremely graphic. The film is rated R, and does contain nudity and extreme violence. If you do not want your child to view the film, separate accommodations can be made for them during these class periods.

As a final exploration of the Holocaust, we will be taking a field trip to the Michigan Holocaust Museum in Farmington Hills. The Museum is an eye opening experience for those of us who have already studied the Holocaust, and for those of us who have not. The museum is a non-profit institution however; in order to show school spirit and support for the cause, I would like each student to have turned in $5.00 with their permission slip. We will be stopping to eat, so students may need additional spending money for lunch/souvenirs however; students are more than welcome to pack a lunch. The bus will leave at 8:45 a.m. and should arrive at the museum around 10:00a.m. The tour should last until 12p.m., at which time, if the opportunity presents itself, we will be able to interview a Holocaust survivor! Chaperones are encouraged to attend!

By signing the spaces provided, I am giving my child permission to view the screening of **Schindler’s List**, and or permission to attend the Holocaust Museum field trip (with a $5.00 donation enclosed).
