This set of activities is compiled and adapted by Margaret Sheble, CILMAR, Purdue University, from the following: 

USC Shoah Foundation & Searchlight Pictures (2019).  JoJo Rabbit education initiative. iWitness. https://iwitness.usc.edu/sfi/Sites/JojoRabbit/

This tool includes two separate activities that pair well together and also includes links to additional activities created by the USC Shoah Foundation designed around the film Jojo Rabbit.

When engaging with this tool, facilitators should practice political transparency as well as the validation of each participant's political beliefs. Political diversity should be treated just like any other aspect of cultural difference. Therefore, the facilitator should be careful to avoid declaring some political stances as more "correct" than others.
