This resource is incredibly thoughtful and carefully examines the framing of the Holocaust for students, parents and teachers. The workshop looks at all aspects of teaching this topic and offers support materials. The video and the audio clips are clear. The workshop pulls in speakers about ideology and stories from survivors. Additional PDF brochures of other victimized groups are available.

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."

Possible uses:

Teachers can use this workshop when beginning to create a unit on the Holocaust. Those who already teach the topic can greatly add to the quality by considering the questions posed in this workshop. Video clips from the lectures or Nesse Godin, Holocaust survivor, can be shared with students followed by discussion to add faces and voices to the topic.
