7. Symbols from Iowans in History
The Red Cup:
Was made in Oskar Schindler’s factory by Phyllis Karp,
Karp was saved from Auschwitz by Schindler then moved to Des Moines in 1947
*The cup is symbolic to Karp as hope for a better tomorrow,
“This will remind me, every day, that there is a better tomorrow.”
Think-Pair-Share what does this cup mean to you when you first saw? What about now?
Speaker Notes/Cues: Allow for note taking time before talking. Give a verbal cue that anything highlighted or start needs to make it into notes. Explain/remind that Auschwitz was a death camp. TPS with whoever is closest to them, give about 5 minutes.

8. Symbols from Iowans in History
Identification Badge:
*Under Nazis Germany, minority groups were forced to wear id badges.
This was worn by Charles Anolik, a Jewish man, in Lithuania. Anolik lived in the Slobotka Ghetto.*
Quick Write: 2+ sentences on why the Nazis would force someone to wear id symbols and live in bordered Ghettos?
Speaker notes/cues: Give time for notes before explaining what minority groups and Ghettos meant in 1940’s Germany. Do this by asking students what a minority group is and what a ghetto is. After some time spent on this make any necessary clarifications and summarize what had just been said. Have students do the quick write in their notes and then take/pick volunteers to read for the class.
