Note about the content on this page:
In addition to containing original content, the Gellert Center for Education area of our site makes heavy use of links to vetted online material that further explains or enhances the information on these pages. All of these links appear in red like this link to the main page of our web site. We encourage you to follow these links – they will open in new tabs or windows (depending on your browser settings) so you will not lose access to the page you are viewing here.
This section of our site contains links to lesson plans and resources appropriate for Upper Elementary School Students. If you have any questions or suggestions about any content or wish to suggest additional material that may be appropriate, please reach out to us at gellertcenter@nmholocaustmuseum.org.
NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated, all lesson plans are in PDF format.
