Ressources pour le personnel enseignant

Lesson Plans available for use and inspiration regarding Human Rights protection. The award-winning author can provide primary source copies for classrooms dealing with true WWII stories about displaced persons. The story centers on the author's Czech father and a group of friends, including later-to-become Canadian Karel Bala, who are forced to leave their native country after Nazi occupation. The group corresponds across five continents, expressing well the loss of human rights and of homeland, family, friends, possessions, and professions. Author Joanie Schirm began in 2008 a search for the writers or their descendants and chronicles what she discovered and why it should matter. The personal stories remind students of the fragility of societies and the consequences of indifference. The Lesson Plan brings modern relevance to the stories of displaced persons - in 2014 nearly 60 million strong, the highest since WWII. The stories help students recognize that ordinary individuals just like themselves can lose their human rights and that they also can play a role in protecting human rights and dignity.
