Abstract
The Reset recommends social studies teachers humanize dates, sites, and numbers-as in highlighting the dates of militant resistance in ghettos, camps, and in forests that contained partisan guerilla groups. Accent Takeaway Lessons. Since students give special credence to informal accounts of the real-life applicability of Holocaust-based lessons, personal anecdotes offered in class by a social studies teacher are highly valued. The Reset would have a social studies teacher and the classroom guest meet beforehand in person or by phone to allow encouragement of examples of the Help Story along with age-appropriate aspects of the Horror Story. Acknowledgements Advice was gratefully given by Connie Willams, National Board Certified Teacher Librarian; William Younglove, retired Secondary School teacher and Holocaust Scholar; and Miriam L. Zimmerman, (Retired) Chair, Communication Department, Notre Dame de Namur University, Belmont, CA.
