FREE IN-PERSON WORKSHOP FOR EDUCATORS

From Yad Vashem, Jerusalem to New Jersey at the Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center at Stockton University’s Galloway campus. Join us for a special workshop designed for teachers grades 5 through 12 & higher education. Sheryl Ochayon, author, Echoes and Reflections Project Director and Educator at the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem, will show educators how love was an act of resistance during the Holocaust, and how love stories can be used to teach the Holocaust. Forbidden relationships were dangerous and had high risks; yet the will to survive, resist, and rebuild lives during and after the Holocaust is part of the life stories of Holocaust survivors. These stories about how the human spirit is able to overcome will be highlighted. Free resources will be distributed to teacher participants.
