    US and the Holocaust

    Here's signup information about an upcoming professional development workshop focusing on The U.S. and the Holocaust, the new documentary by Ken Burns.

    On February 7 at 7 p.m. ET the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) will cohost an event with PBS LearningMedia and the Association of Holocaust Organizations exploring practical strategies for educators to integrate the film’s content into their teaching.

    The event will feature teachers who wrote lesson plans on media literacy, immigration, and the refugee crisis; Nazism and antisemitism; and World War II and the Holocaust

    Please register for the PD session here.

    Have been watching this documentary with my husband, it is so well made! Thank you for sharing!

    It’s good to know,   Kenedy LH Reichert , that you’ve been able to watch the Ken Burns documentary and hopefully, the upcoming workshop will be of value.  

    Americans and the Holocaust continues to travel across the country with at least two libraries per state selected to host the exhibition.

    Thanks again for your comment!
