Coming from a former Holocaust literature student, “Holocaust Lit wasn’t so much a ‘fun’ class as it was eye opening, and I’m hoping this year, the students of 20th century literature will have the same experience.” 20th Century Literature is a new, year long elective course offered this year. Miss Branderhorst, the teacher for this course, explained, “We aren’t just focusing on the Holocaust, but all of the significant changes that take place during the 20th century—all the changes that mirror or impact our lives today.” 20th Century Lit students will be learning through a variety of media - art, music, theatre, photography, and literature. Together, the class will attend a play, view a photography exhibit, and will have at least 3 Holocaust survivors coming to speak with them. They also have some art projects that they will be incorporating into their units.
