  Your task is to creat a diary based on the character you received. You will write a diary after researching this person. You may not find lots of information on this person, but you can base your diary on general information, such as where he lived, age, family, etc.
   
 

You will need a minimum of 3 sources - your Children of the Holocaust page is one, and you will need two more. Books and databases are good choices.

  • Town/Country the person was born and lived in
  • Different concentration camps
  • Possible information on family members
  • General information of the time period (clothes, movies, things your person would have heard on the radio)
  • What was going on with the war during this time period (things that would have been in newspapers and news broadcasts on the radio)
