SUMMARY:Teaching Inclusively: African American History Across the Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:Continuing Professional Development for NJ Teachers \nTeaching Inclusively: African American History Across the Curriculum \nThe Amistad Curriculum serves as a model for districts across the country of what should be occurring within classrooms. The empowerment of educators to effectively infuse African American history into their curriculum is essential to its success. This experience is focused on simplifying those complexities for application. Educators are looking for ways to engage with students organically while also having fun. Modules are inclusive of all learning styles and rooted in arts-driven curriculum design\, which allows educators to experience what we are teaching them to implement. Experience is literally the best teacher\, and the modules are designed to capitalize on this important aspect of learning. \nContinuing Professional Development for NJ Teachers FINAL.docx

SUMMARY:Teaching about the Holocaust\, Learning from the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:What is the relationship between teaching about the Holocaust and learning from the Holocaust? That is a question many teachers are increasingly asking. Can Holocaust education raise\nawareness of contemporary racism\, antisemitism\, Islamophobia\, and threats to democracy? Can Holocaust education help to sow “seeds of concern” among students and others about what it means to be a citizen in a democracy? Can Holocaust education contribute to understanding and preventing future genocides? If so\, how? Join us for an informative workshop on why it is\nimportant to teach the Holocaust in American classrooms today. \nSara & Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center\nLiviu Librescu Classroom\n2nd Floor of the Richard E.

SUMMARY:Strangers in Their Own Land: Jewish Self-Awareness in Holocaust Memoirs -- Via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive session\, participants will discuss short excerpts describing the painful realization of what it means to be oppressed. Professor Dorian Stuber will consider texts by Sarah Kofman and Nechama Tec. Despite their differences in national origin and living situations\, each writer grappled with what it meant to be a stranger in her own land. Using Michael Rothberg’s idea of “multidirectional memory\,” the session will conclude by using the African American sociologist W. E. B. DuBois’s articulation of “double consciousness” as an accessible conceptual language for understanding the self-awareness of persecuted minorities and placing the Holocaust in relation to other histories of oppression. \nFor more information\, please contact: Dr. Adara Goldberg at agoldber@kean.edu / (908) 737-\nUniversity 1000 Morris Avenue\, Union\, NJ. 07083 www.kean.edu

SUMMARY:Nazism in America: The Front of Youth Camps
DESCRIPTION:During the 1930s\, the German-American Bund\, a revived organization emerging from the disbanded Friends of New Germany under the leadership of immigrant Fritz Kuhn\, established more than twenty youth camps across the country. To most outsiders\, these camps appeared to be summer camps to give German-American youth opportunities to engage with sports and the land. But in reality\, they were fronts of the Nazi movement. One camp in particular\, Camp Nordland\, operated in Sussex County\, New Jersey\, from 1937 until early 1941. \nBarbara Krasner\, a historian and prize winning poet\, has written about Camp Nordland and how it unraveled a friendship between two Newark teens\, one Jewish and one German-American. Dr. Krasner will present the history of the Bund in America\, the establishment of these camps with a special emphasis on Nordland\, and read selections from her novel in verse\, Facing the Enemy: How a Nazi Youth Camp in America Tested a Friendship (Calkins Creek\, 2023). She’ll also discuss the importance of upstanding to protect human rights then and now. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Professional development hours provided. \nFor more information\, please contact: Erica V. Colace\, Director\, Kean Skylands\nkeanskylands@kean.edu | (908) 737-1612

SUMMARY:The Vel d’Hiv Round-Up: The Largest Mass Arrest in Wartime French History  -- Via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:On July 16-17\, 1942 in Occupied Paris\, more than 13\,000 French Jews were arrested by French Police.
