Now that you have some idea of Oscar Schindler and how he transitioned from being a bystander to an upstander, the time has come to use this information and apply it by completing the following assignment:
Part One Using media center resources research a RESCUER or RESISTER during the Holocaust. You will be given the name of someone to research.
Part Two Research the circumstances surrounding your upstander during the Holocaust.
For example, if the rescuer/resister was from the Netherlands, research
information on events taking place in the Netherlands during the Nazi occupation.
