How and Why Still Teach the Holocaust? After all, it has been 80 years since the liberation of the concentration camps and end of WWII. Unfortunately, the answer to this question is very simple. Look at the world around us where hate and prejudice continue to thrive.
As such, I hope you will listen in to this special episode where we ask several people making a difference in Holocaust education about how they would answer this question and about how teachers, across content areas, might teach this hard subject in engaging ways.
Join us as we speak with Maud Dahme, Chair of the NJ Holocaust Commission and former hidden child in the Netherlands, Mike Pawloski, 7th grade ELA teacher in Roselle, NJ, David Modigliani, creator of the popular podcast about his Italian Jewish family's escape from Italy called "Pack One Bag", and Catherine Clark, senior director of programming at the USC/Shoah Foundation.
