This lesson uses resources from Chapter 2 of Holocaust and Human Behavior to prompt students to explore the ways that individuals, groups, communities, and nations define who belongs and who does not.
The activities that follow examine what it means to belong by introducing the idea of a “universe of obligation,” the term sociologist Helen Fein coined to describe the circle of individuals and groups within a society “toward whom obligations are owed, to whom rules apply, and whose injuries call for amends.”[1] Al Jazeera English. When Immigrants Are No Longer Considered Americans. When my grandfather died, in 2014, at ninety-six, my mother asked me if I wanted anything from the small, one-bedroom apartment that he and my grandmother, who had died a few years earlier, shared for nearly their entire American lives.
Thinking about a tangible object that I could hold and cherish felt vaguely therapeutic, a way to displace more recent memories of a voice that had hoarsened and a proud handshake that had ceased to be viselike and painful.

What is a Nation? “The migration of people between one nation and another is challenging long-held assumptions about who belongs.” Merriam-Webster’s dictionary defines a nation as: a politically organized nationality . . . A community of people composed of one or more nation- alities and possessing a more or less defined territory and government a territorial division containing a body of people of one or more nationalities and usually characterized by relatively large size and independent status. In his influential 1882 essay “What Is a Nation?” French philosopher Ernest Renan wrote about the bonds that hold nations together.
Others have stressed language, ethnicity, or even pseudo- scientific ideas about “race.” The way that many nations officially recognize that people belong is by allowing them to become citizens.

There are also 10 million stateless people who have been denied a nationality and access to basic rights such as education, healthcare, employment and freedom of movement . . .; 34,000 people are forcibly displaced every day as a result of conflict or persecution. . . . ”1 This lesson asks students to consider the ethical and legal implications of the global refugee crisis and what those implications mean in terms of our human responsibilities.

Whose Streets Our Streets. Chinua Achebe on How Storytelling Helps Us Survive History’s Rough Patches. “Those who tell you ‘Do not put too much politics in your art’ are not being honest,” beloved Nigerian novelist Chinua Achebe (November 16, 1930–March 21, 2013) observed in his forgotten 1980 conversation with James Baldwin.
“If you look very carefully you will see that they are the same people who are quite happy with the situation as it is… What they are saying is don’t upset the system.” By that point, Achebe had already been busy upsetting the system for more than two decades, beginning with his iconic debut novel Things Fall Apart, which remains the most widely read book in African literature. Eight years after his conversation with Baldwin, 58-year-old Achebe sat down to discuss the storyteller’s task in both upsetting the system and stabilizing the spirit of the people with another exceptional interlocutor — Bill Moyers, who so poetically describes Achebe as “a storyteller who hears the music of history, weaves the fabric of memory, and sometimes offends the Emperor.” Now Is the Time to Talk About What We Are Actually Talking About.
