USC Shoah Foundation’s “Keep the Promise” lessons engage students with survivor testimony, historical sources, and cultural artifacts to deepen understanding of the Armenian Genocide. Designed for secondary classrooms, the lessons highlight the historical context of Ottoman Armenians during World War I, explore themes of resilience and resistance, and encourage critical thinking through primary and secondary source analysis. Students connect personal narratives to broader issues of human rights, genocide denial, and historical memory, developing skills in evidence-based reading, writing, and discussion.
