In my course on The Holocaust, I gave my students the choice between a final project and a final exam. I feel weird about testing them on genocide. 11 chose the final project, 9 chose the exam. Here is the breakdown of what my brilliant students did: #pedagogy #unessay
One student composed + scored own musical piece to try to capture the emotion of arriving at Auschwitz. "Lyrics" were a Hebrew translation of Ps 1 which victims might say (The Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.) 1/2
The student incorporated string instruments because of the accounts of the camp symphonies. The are some discordant notes which were intentional to evoke anxiety and fear. The song gave me chills. It is moving and powerful.
