Step 1: Visualize Smaller Terms
You’ve learned how whole towns and communities were wiped out. So take a moment to estimate- how many people live in the town or city you live? On one slide of your presentation, record your estimate.

Once you have your estimate, research online to find the exact population. Enter this information on the slide as well.

Once you have that number, graph the number of residents in your city or town on a new slide.

Step 2: Analyze the Numbers
In your lesson you learned how some researchers reach their number when talking about the Holocaust. Do you think their methods are sound? If so, use their numbers for your calculations. Create a slide explaining why. If not, create a slide in your presentation showing where you believe their math is in error and how you would calculate the number.

Step 3: Create a Visual Comparison
Once you have the total number of victims of the Holocaust that you feel is accurate, divide this number by the population of your town or city to see how many this would represent.

On a new slide, create a bar graph or some other type of visual to show how many of your towns equals the total number of victims of the Holocaust.

Step 4: Defend Your Math
Finally, imagine that a Holocaust denier tries to question your math. Write a slide that defends your methods of calculation and why you believe you are accurate.

Step 5: Cite Your Sources
On the final side, cite the sources you used to find your two numbers or any other research you used in your presentation in APA or MLA style according to your instructor’s preference.
