Each lesson plan comes with specific readings and interesting texts. The lesson plan for the last group, ages 15-18, is especially rich and provocative because it uses the history of the Nazi period to discuss the complex relations between art and politics in the 20th century. In particular, the last lesson introduces students to artists as diverse as Paul Klee and Marc Chagall.
