The Neuberger’s latest educational resource is based on the principles of inquiry-based instruction and encourages learners to discover facts to independently contextualize history. By examining and analyzing archival documents and replica artefacts, exploring excerpts of recorded survivor testimony, students learn about the Holocaust through one family’s experiences. In doing so they wrestle with questions and situations that may challenge preconceived ideas about the Holocaust and Jewish responses; encouraging a deeper learning experience. As a result of this approach, students will remember concepts and knowledge that they discovered on their own.

Marketa Brady was sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp in 1941 and eventually deported to Auschwitz in October 1942 where she was killed. While in Ravensbrück, Marketa was rarely allowed to send letters home. In one of these letters, she included in the envelope a gift for her two children and their cousin Vera. Marketa had made charms out of the only possession she had; her rationed bread. Image courtesy Brady Family.
