Cayo Gamber

Abstract

Teaching the Holocaust in a first-year writing course using photographs of the Shoah as a primary resource authorizes students to engage in research and writing that provides a place of empathetic, dignified witnessing for those who were denied the possibility of realizing the lives they were meant to live.
