Teachers Holocaust Museum Study Trip
October 16 - 17, 2009
For the fifth year, the Center is offering a thoughtfully designed trip for educators to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Thanks to a generous grant, there is virtually no cost to participants. The trip is a unique opportunity for Social Studies and Language Arts teachers to gain the knowledge and comfort to deal with a difficult and mandated subject. On the bus each way, master teachers lead discussions on guidelines for teaching the Holocaust, how to use the Museum as a resource, and the value of film in the classroom. Saturday is spent in the Museum
