The Fabric of a Character's Life
Holocaust Historical Fiction Character Investigation
Patchwork Quilt
We will explore the backdrop of geopolitical events that contributed to the genocide of Jews, Gypsies, and other targeted populations during WWII. Each of you will read a historical novel of your choice about the Holocaust. In this task, you will examine how the main character in the story responds to the events she or he experiences in the book. You will chronicle character traits that emerge in the character and track the specific events that spur change/growth by creating a patchwork quilt of your character 's life.
