Educational Aim
The educational aim of this pathway is to help students understand the genocide process through the story and quest of various fictional characters or witnesses to history.
Young readers are invited to discover a story, then to explore certain passages in greater depth, weaving together the historical context and the journeys of different characters. In so doing, they develop their thinking on the manifestations and effects of the genocide process on an individual, and then on a community. This reflection encourages students to express empathy. This stance is underpinned by an analysis of the acts of resistance and ways of preventing this type of crime.
