Peace Day Activities

PEACE DAY 19/20
Here we propose some topics, web pages and activities that teachers can use for the PEACE DAY having to do with Poland, the city where our next mobility will take place.
The fact that they know deeply about this conflict is the best prevention in order not to repeat it. Because of their importance during the Second War World, the first thing is a video for kids explaining the situation of Europe.
1. SECOND WORLD WAR (CONTEXT).
2. ANA FRANK.
We can work the character of Anna Frank to explain the situation of the Jews in Poland and Germany. We can do a play, a project, watching videos, drawing comics about her.
3. AUSCHWITZ CONCENTRATION CAMP.
Anne Frank was in a concentration camp called Auschwitz in Poland, here you are some information about this place:
We can explain what kind of place is, how it works, how people was treated and that now it is a place to visit and not forget (every teacher choose the level and detail to work this).
4. CINEMA MOVIES AND DIRECTORS FOR PEACE.
ROMAN POLANSKY: Polish, THE PIANIST. A film about the life of a great Polish pianist during the Second World War in Warsow (Wladyslaw Szpilman). We can watch the scene of The Pianist being discovered by a German soldier, playing by Chopin in the piano and how both are able to forget that they are enemies in that fragment of the movie. AN EXAMPLE FOR PEACE!!!
STEVEN SPIELBERG: (He is not Polish, but it has Jews origin and is closely related to Auschwitz and Jews problem during the Second World War). THE SCHINDLER LIST is his movie about a person, OSCAR SCHINDLER that saved thousand of Jews people. In this scene some of the survivors represented in the film, in pairs with the actors and actresses that play their roles in the movie, put a stone on the OSCAR SCHINDLER tomb to simbolized the number of people who was saved by him.
5. MUSICIAN FROM POLAND.
FREDERIC CHOPIN (one of the greatest Polish composers and musicians of classical music in the world). His music is representative of Poland, it was used in the film of POLANSKY. THE PIANIST (USED IN A VERY FAMOUS ADVERTISEMENT OF MILK IN SPAIN).
WOJCIECH KILAR
WLADYSLAW SZPILMAN: His biography is represented in the film THE PIANIST by POLANSKY.
