Seminars on Teaching the Holocaust
July 20-24, 2008
Strand 1: Implications for the 21st Century: This intensive interdisciplinary five-and-one-half day seminar includes sessions designed to provide a historical perspective and comprehensive understanding of the Holocaust and its implications for the 21st century. Strand 1 is an introductory seminar for those teachers who are first approaching the Holocaust in their curriculum. Programs include lectures by distinguished scholars, presentations by Holocaust survivors and authors, and workshops led by teachers experienced in Holocaust education.
Strand 2: Integrating the Arts into the Teaching of the Holocaust: This seminar was created to deepen teachers’ exploration and study of the Holocaust. Strand 2 will be held concurrently with Strand 1. Designed for educators who have taught the Holocaust, participants will learn how to integrate art, literature, film, music, historical documents, and personal testimony into their curriculum to enrich and expand their teaching of the Holocaust and to provide greater learning potential for their students. Participants must have completed a previous HHRC seminar or have three years Holocaust teaching experience.
