 * ===Unit Overview=== ||
 * You are digging through your great grandfather's attic and find a dusty old black and white photo book. As you slowly flip through the pages you see images of distant places and people's faces you don't recognize. Gasping at the recognition of a picture of your great grandfather, you start coughing because of all the dust and pass out due to lack of oxygen. You come to and are in a distant place in a time that you do not recognize. Explore the places of the photographs, learn the stories of people of the time, and experience the tolerance exerted by people towards others during the Holocaust. ||
