Brief Description: 12130 • Teaching the Holocaust: Resources and Reflections

The aim of this seminar is to gain an understanding of the precursors, events, and consequences of the Holocaust and to grapple with the problem of how best to convey this history and its meaning to our students. To accomplish this goal, we will explore the exhibits and other resources of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Participants will meet our bus at predetermined locations across the state and then journey together to Washington for this intensive week. Under the guidance of museum staff, we will devote three days to concentrated study in the museum, which has earned an international reputation for the quality of its contents, presentations, architecture, and technology. This seminar is for educators involved or interested in teaching about the Holocaust to students eleven years of age and older. (Two participants to a room)..
