Current classroom teachers can request a FREE set of timeline cards to use with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum's iconic timeline lesson. The lesson and request form can be found here:
Today is Anne Frank's birthday. Without any idea of the other's existence, Anne was writing passionately, hidden in Amsterdam, at the same time Sophie Scholl, former Hi**er Youth leader, transformed with brother Hans into Germany's greatest anti-Nazi icons - crisscrossing Germany to distribute thousands of leaflets struggling to arouse Germans against Hi**er & the mass murder of Jews.
-- "Why tell you these things since you already know them?... Every German today is ashamed of his government.... Cast off the cloak of indifference with which you have covered your heart. Choose before it is too late! ... We will not be silent!"
--Multimedia program below, one of four.
