Thank you to Art Shotstak, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, and Holocaust Scholar who guided my curation for this page. He is the author of the book: Stealth Altruism: Forbidden Care as Jewish Resistance in the Holocaust. 
How might you use these materials? Take a look at the materials from Teach the Shoah (below) which gives excellent guidelines for teaching the Holocaust across ages and grade levels.
The middle box below is a list of organizations that cover individual and/or all genocides...or they cover information on how to provide excellent genocide education. Some of these organizational websites may have primary source material, but some may not - use them to jumpstart your thinking on how to best create the classroom materials you want.
The boxes on the sides are centered on primary source materials that might be useful for your instruction. This is a STARTER PACK and will hopefully introduce you to some sites to sget you started.

Use this site to gain an understanding of the changing nature of the Holocaust narrative, moving from a place of victimization to the more complex and nuanced narrative of caring, strength, and hope, Utilizing Jewish sources and stories, they offer guidance through key recommendations for presenting these lessons.

5. GENOCIDE ARCHIVE RWANDA: https://genocidearchiverwanda.org.rw/index.php/Welcome_to_Genocide_Archive_Rwanda
The Holocaust Story Project of Northern California
Invite these compelling speakers to your classroom; in-person or virtually.
Watching the students as they listened to the speakers was fascinating, they leaned forward to hear, they were quiet, they were not fiddling with phones or iPads. They. Were. Listening. This kind of impact only happens when the storyteller can be seen, listened to and questioned in person. I'd say that as a teacher, I couldn't ask for anything better.
