Holocaust Podcast

While researching podcasts, I managed to find one that I thought would work well in an integrated unit that I do with social studies and language arts teachers. Eighth grade students study the Holocaust and read The Diary of Anne Frank as one of their required readings. The podcast I found was of a Holocaust survivor who spoke to a group of fifth graders and told of her experience in the concentration camp and of her relationship with Anne Frank and her father. I liked it because I felt it was a great way to either kick off or extend the unit. There was one section in the podcast that seemed a bit unclear. The speaker's voice did not seem loud enough, but it quickly improved and was great information.
