Lesson plan based on Hannah Gofrit's story "I Wanted to Fly Like a Butterfly"

Presenting the subject of the Holocaust to young students in elementary school is not simple. The emotionally heavy aspects to this historical period are difficult to grasp. Through the book I Wanted to Fly Like a Butterfly, Yad Vashem tries to discuss the subject of the Holocaust with students in a way that enables them to take in the story while becoming familiar with basic concepts relating to the Holocaust.

The book I Wanted to Fly Like a Butterfly presents readers with the story of Hannah Gofrit. Naomi Morgenstern, the author of the book, has reworked the testimony of Hannah Gofrit in accordance with Yad Vashem’s educational approach, so as to make her story accessible to third and fourth grade students.
