The interview that students have been assigned to watch this week includes historical Holocaust footage (which includes graphic content in the form of images of emaciated prisoners, the deceased, horrific conditions, nudity, etc.) that could make the viewer feel uncomfortable. Please be aware of this before you begin watching the program. If you choose not to watch this content, an alternative interview (published a few years later as a magazine article) will be available for your use.
