This video addresses the complexities of teaching about the Final Solution. Some six million Jews were murdered in the systematic mass murder of the Jews of Europe that was defined by the Germans as the ""Final Solution"" of what they termed the ""Jewish Question."" The video focuses on the stories of individual Jewish victims, allowing us, through their stories, to address the Final Solution through a human lens rather than through dry statistics. It works together with Lesson 5 of the Echoes and Reflections educational program to present a multidisciplinary approach to this difficult subject of the struggle for life in the shadow of death during one of humanity's darkest chapters.
