After arriving in Gleiwitz and being packed into their barracks to sleep, Wiesel writes:
“Could one fall asleep here? Wasn’t it dangerous to lower one’s guard, even for a moment, when death could strike at any time?
“Those were my thoughts when I heard the sound of a violin…Never before had I heard such a beautiful sound.
In such silence.”
What is the significance of this scene (and what he saw the next morning)? What effect did this have on Wiesel and why?
Juliek was playing for an audience of corpses. The dead were piled atop the living and yet he played his violin. So many had died, but this death stood out to him.

5. over the course of 12 years,
6 Million Project
18,285,400
total deaths
over the course of 12 years,
4,175 deaths per day.

6. 6 Million Project Holocaust = 18,285,400 deaths
This is how many individuals perished total over the course of the Holocaust.
Analogy thing = x units
This is the item/thing that you are comparing the Holocaust to in order to put the amount of deaths into perspective.
Time span = 4,380 days
This is how long the Holocaust lasted (12 years).

7. 6 Million Project Step 1: Divide A by B
This will tell you how many of your point of reference it would take to equal the total deaths of the Holocaust.
Step 2: Divide the answer to Step 1 by C
This tells you how many items/things of your analogy must be used/destroyed/consumed/etc. each day in order to equal the total deaths of the Holocaust.
Write equations on board for reference

8. Rocky Mountain High School
If the Holocaust caused 18,285,400 deaths and Rocky Mountain High School contains 2,300 students, then that means it would take 7,950 Rocky Mountains to match the number of victims from the Holocaust.
This means that you would need to completely destroy 1.8 Rocky Mountain High Schools every day for the next 12 years.

9. Starbucks Latte
If the Holocaust caused 18,285,400 deaths and one Starbucks latte contains 300 calories, then that means it would take 60,951 Starbucks lattes to match the number of victims from the Holocaust.
This means that you would have to drink 14 lattes a day for the next 12 years.

10. 6 Million Project
Create an analogy that puts how many people perished during the Holocaust into perspective.
Create a poster in the shape of your analogy (i.e. a latte cup or RHMS silhouette)
Write the details of your analogy on the poster
If the Holocaust caused 18,285,400 deaths and one Starbucks latte contains calories, then that means it would take 60,951 Starbucks lattes to match the number of victims from the Holocaust.
This means that you would have to drink 14 lattes a day for the next 12 years.
