I found this interesting post shared by  Erasmus Plus and  at the same time I also found an interesting story shared online about  the time of Nazism.  The story is a story about  the friendship of two girls who were penpals . One was living in  Europe while the other was living in the USA. The first one belonged to a Jewish family and when Hitler came to power they had to find a way  to  escape  and  avoid  being sent to the concentration camps.

This story can help us reflect on what we can do for the others and how we can change the life of people if  we are human  beings. If we do not  decide, we will never be " human", since caring about the others is really important.

Here is the link to the  document online which I am  going to use with  my students of the  fifth year  when school starts in September.

I cannot but say that if more people had " worked " to fight against the persecution of the Jews , we would have  changed history.
