"Denmark 1943": Using Music to Teach Holocaust Rescue
Lindquist, David H.
Social Education, v71 n6 p316-321 Oct 2007
Addressing the topic of rescue efforts poses particular challenges for teachers planning Holocaust curricula. While the issue leads many students to develop an engaged empathy with rescuers, teachers must avoid overemphasizing what was a limited occurrence within the overall Holocaust. This article presents a plan for using music to teach about the Danish Rescue. It discusses the need to contextualize rescue within the Holocaust's larger story; provides an overview of the rescue; introduces the song "Denmark 1943"; and provides notes and details about the lesson plan. The song's lyrics, a list of names and places mentioned in the song, and a discussion guide are also included. (Contains 6 notes.)
