This book offers a six-stage, student centered inquiry-based pedagogy that addresses complex questions and invites construction of complicated answers. Why the Jews? Why were there so many followers? Did the Jews resist? Each of the twenty-three inquiries presented in the book centers on an essential question and includes pedagogical strategies, compelling sources, and multiple suggestions to assess student learning. Elizabeth Krasemann has been a dedicated history teacher and Holocaust educator for 25 years. In her classes, her pedagogy centers on inquiry-based teaching and she has received several awards for this.
