"The rope around us is getting tighter and tighter. Next month there should already be a ghetto, a real one, surrounded by walls. In the summer it will be unbearable. To sit in a gray locked cage, without being able to see fields and flowers." Rutka Laskier was a sensitive and precocious 14-year old who perished in the Holocaust - but the diary she left behind is especially resonant with teenagers and remains a terrific primary resource to teach about the Holocaust. Join Sheryl Ochayon, Echoes & Reflections Project Director for Yad Vashem, to discuss this amazing source, its context, and how to use it in the classroom.
