Scene 3 – The toys arrive at Sunnyside, meet Lotso (the head of all the toys) who makes them think they are in a good place, and then sends them off to the caterpillar room. When the toys arrive at Sunnyside, they think it looks nice… “it even has a rainbow on the door.” At Auschwitz (as the rabbi mentioned earlier), there was a sign which said, “Arbeit Macht Frei” (or work will make you free), designed to make you think it wasn’t such a bad place.Woody tries to plot an escape, as many Jews must have attempted on the journey.Potato Head comforts Barbie who is distraught at this turn of events, just as must have happened to the Jews in the cattle cars. The toys are riding to the day care center in a dark, crowded box, just like the cattle cars that took Jews to the concentration camps.Scene 2 – In the car on the way to Sunnyside – Andy’s toys mistakenly think that Andy was throwing them away, so they decide to allow themselves to be donated to the day care center. All of the toys are consoled by the fact that no matter what happens they’ll be together.Buzz reminds them to get all of their pieces together to go to the attic, just as the Jews gathered their belongings to bring them on the road.The green army men desert the toys… a few Jews could see the writing on the wall and left Germany/Europe before things got bad.The toys look around and see their numbers have dwindled… over time, their friends have been taken to other places.They think they are going to the attic, and they are trying to be positive about it. The toys are uncertain what is going to happen to them, but they do know their fate will be decided by somebody else.Scene 1 – Andy’s room – the toys are discussing the fact that Andy is going to be going to college. I think you'll be astonished to see just how many similarities there are between this movie and the Holocaust. I explained to the students that while the producers, writers & director of the movie they are about to see almost definitely had no intention of making this a Holocaust story, there is imagery and plot points that really mirror the story of the Jews in the Holocaust.Īs we go through the movie, we’ll be stopping and starting the movie to discuss various points. I got such an amazing response from the kids, that I wanted to share it here on my website, so you could go through the lesson with your kids as well.Ī special thanks to my friend, Jamie Turner, for allowing me to upload an extra long video to his YouTube channel! After the students heard the story of Rabbi Ron, whose mother was an Auschwitz survivor, we returned to the classrooms for further discussion. On Sunday, December 2, the 5th grade students at Dor Tamid received a lesson on the Holocaust.
