Mural Creation | Murals of the Holocaust

Experts on teaching the Holocaust encourage educators to use art to deepen student understanding of the events of that time. This approach has been used for 20 years in VAMPY (Verbally and Mathematically Precocious Youth), a Western Kentucky University summer program where the Holocaust course includes a group mural project. In this video, students from the 2017 class describe how they chose the theme of liberation for their mural, and how an image from the World War II miniseries Band of Brothers illustrates that theme. They explain the meaning of the images and how they decided on a quotation to use.
