Nuremberg:
Read "On Trial" and "Choices" from Chapter 9 in Facing History and Ourselves- Holocaust and Human Behavior. Then, complete the Connections Questions for both readings on a sheet of loose-leaf, notebook paper.
Conduct your own research on the legacy of the Holocaust and the Nuremberg trials. After the Nuremberg trials, many countries joined together to sign three documents: the Nuremberg Convention, the Genocide Convention, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Nuremberg Convention set international rules for how prisoners of war could be treated. The Genocide Convention said it was illegal for countries to kill or harm individuals just because they belonged to a particular racial, ethnic, national, or religious group. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) listed the rights that all people have, regardless of where they live. Use the internet to learn more about these three documents. Print and annotate what you find, then answer these questions: Do you agree that there are universal rights that should be protected at all costs? What are those rights? Who decides when they are being violated? How should they be protected? For the text of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, refer to the United Nations’ website: http://un.org/Overview/rights.html. Turn in your research, annotations, and responses.
