CURRICULUM REVIEWS
“I’d like to thank you for the work you’re doing for justice, love, and human understanding. TAK FOR ALT is a beautiful film and I’ll be showing it to all my classes for the rest of my teaching career.”
Fred Robertson, English and Debate Teacher
Fremont High School, Omaha, NE
“With the contextual information relating to our modern civil rights struggles, TAK FOR ALT is a valuable resource that all students can relate to. Usually we teachers are barraged with tons of heavy curriculum guides in thick binders that stay wedged on some shelf or shoved into a file cabinet. What you offer, however, is refreshingly compact, easily accessible, and reasonably priced. The historical background information located on the sides of the lesson plans is an invaluable resource for teachers who may not be so familiar with the Holocaust.”

“Thanks to your effort, our students gained a more personal understanding of the Holocaust, as your cameras cast an unflinching look at Judy’s life in the concentration camps. What better way to teach history than to see it through the firsthand account of someone who actually lived it? At times during the film, I found myself seeing Judy as a grandmother recounting her story to a youngster on her knee. Very compelling.”

“The Plains States Office of the Anti-Defamation League is to be commended for the new teaching curriculum TAK FOR ALT: Survival of a Human Spirit, which has been introduced in classrooms in the Omaha Public Schools. The focus of the issues raised challenges students to think about decision-making in the best interests and welfare of others. The real life experiences and courage demonstrated by Holocaust survivor Judy Meisel provide insightful lessons for young people who are faced with finding answers to the challenges posed by local, national, and world events.”
