To follow up on an important discussion post by   Vivian Awumey  on A Teenager’s Holocaust Diary Is Changing the Way We Interact With Online Exhibitions, a professional development opportunity is available to learn more about Yitskhok Rudashevski.

    Echoes & Reflections will offer a free webinar Yitskhok Rudashevski: A Teenager’s Account of Life and Death in the Vilna Ghetto on November 18, 2024 at 4:00 PM ET.

    There are additional posts about Teenage Holocaust Graphic Novel Diarists and Diaries of the Holocaust here on the TPS Teachers Network. 

    The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum provides valuable background on Children's Diaries during the Holocaust along with primary source material on Holocaust Diaries.

    The following Critical Thinking Questions help frame discussion on this topic:

    • Why are diaries an important part of the historical record?
    • What makes children’s diaries distinct? What can we learn from them?
    • How are some of these accounts different from that of Anne Frank?
