For the next two days, your job will be to create your own fictional memoir of the Holocaust. You can write as a person who hid Jewish people or a Jewish person suffering during the Holocaust - there is some flexibility up to you. This will be counted as a test grade. Here are your requirements:
1. Fact Sheet
Because this is historical fiction, I want you to use real historical details about the Holocaust in your memoir. Your fact sheet should have at least FIVE HISTORICAL FACTS that you researched and put in your fictional memoir. Think of facts like actual concentration camps, how life was in those camps, what life was for men and for women (how they were treated differently) - you just did a project on this so it should be easy! Also list the online sources where you received your information from.
2. At Least Three Journal/Diary Entries
You need at least three entries in your memoir - treat it like a journal or diary. One entry should be describing your life BEFORE the Nazis took over. Your second entry should describe your life in a concentration camp. Your third entry should describe your life after concentration camp. Of course, you can do more than one entry for each part if you desire. I want at least 450 words (about one and a half pages double spaced) overall.
3. A Parent/Child Relationship
Just as a father-son relationship is the center of our reading so far, your memoir should reflect a parent/child relationship. The specifics of that relationship is up to you.
4. A Physical Memoir
You need to also create a physical book for your memoir. Make a front page cover for it and whatever else you want to do. Be creative!
