This lesson centers on Ilse Köenigsgarten, a 10-year-old Jewish girl who fled Nazi Germany in 1939 as part of the Kindertransport—a rescue effort that brought nearly 10,000 unaccompanied children from Nazi-occupied territories to safety in Great Britain. Through a narrative packet based on Ilse’s life and a supplemental map packet illustrating her multi-continent journey, students engage with a historically grounded case study of survival and resilience. Comprehension and reflection questions support critical thinking, empathy, and historical analysis, encouraging students to connect one individual’s experience to the broader history of the Holocaust.
