Description:
Find a well organized teacher workshop presented in an online format. Warren Marcus, Director of Workshops and Conferences at the Holocaust Memorial Museum, guest lecturer, Dr. Meinecke, along with several survivors, present a compelling collection of materials, artifacts and stories to support teachers and encourage thoughtful teaching of the Holocaust. From the website: "This online workshop includes video segments from a workshop presented in February 2001 in Baltimore, Maryland. The guidelines and methodological suggestions in these video segments are at the core of every teacher workshop and conference presented by the Museum. They are offered here for teachers who are unable to attend a professional development program presented by the Museum. In addition to video of the actual workshop session, segments include historical and artifact photographs, text, and links to related sites within the Museum´s Web site."
