FDR Library video series and curriculum guide
Client: FDR Presidential Library and Museum
Type: Storytelling, Video Production
Location: Hyde Park, NY
Investigating the Holocaust has been a year-long project centering around the documentary Nuremberg: Its Lesson for Today. Produced and created by Pare Lorentz and Stuart Schulberg, and recently restored by Sandra Schulberg, Nuremberg details the first of the trials that convicted Nazi leadership of crimes against humanity.
As part of this process we took apart the original film and created fourteen, self-contained, short films that document the rise of the Nazi Party, the onset of World War II, and the Holocaust. While these are films that would be of historic interest to many, in this case we were creating them for use in the classroom. We further created an introductory trailer and promotional video content for social media.
Working with FDR’s education department and the Pare Lorentz Center, we then designed and produced a curriculum guide for use in high school or at the college level. This program is freely available to educators thanks to the support of the New York Community Trust, Schulberg Productions, and the Morganthau Holocaust Collections Project.
"Mkutano wa video na mwongozo wa mtaala wa Maktaba ya FDR: Mteja: Maktaba ya Rais ya FDR na Makumbusho Aina: Storytelling, Utoaji wa Video Mahali: Hyde Park, NY ""Kuchunguza Holocaust"" imekuwa mradi wa mwaka mzima unaozunguka filamu ya Nuremberg: Somo lake kwa Leo." "Picha ya ""Nuremberg"" iliyoundwa na Pare Lorentz na Stuart Schulberg na kurejeshwa hivi karibuni na Sandra Schulberg, inaelezea kesi ya kwanza ya majaribio ambayo ilihukumu uongozi wa Nazi kwa uhalifu dhidi ya ubinadamu." Katika mchakato huu, tulivunja filamu ya awali na kuunda filamu kumi na nne fupi ambazo zinaonyesha kuongezeka kwa chama cha Nazi, kuanza kwa Vita vya Pili vya Ulimwengu na maangamizi makuu. Ingawa filamu hizi ni za kihistoria, katika kesi hii, tulizitengeneza kwa ajili ya darasa. Pia tulitengeneza trela ya utangulizi na yaliyomo ya video ya uendelezaji kwa vyombo vya habari vya kijamii. Kwa kushirikiana na idara ya elimu ya FDR na Kituo cha Pare Lorentz, tulibuni na kutengeneza mwongozo wa mtaala wa masomo kwa ajili ya shule ya sekondari au chuo kikuu. Programu hii inapatikana kwa bure kwa walimu shukrani kwa msaada wa New York Community Trust, Schulberg Productions, na Mradi wa Mkusanyiko wa Holocaust wa Morgenthau.
