WITNESSES AND VOICES of the HOLOCAUST" are videoconferences presented by aging, eye-witness Holocaust survivors. Eleven million people were killed in the Nazi Holocaust including 6 million Jews, and these presenters survived to live on and tell the stories. Old photographs shared by these Holocaust survivors suggest distant memories that bring the reality of the Holocaust into sharp focus. Subtle yet powerful, historical and personal, these videoconferences will employ emotional and powerful words and images strung together to weave stories of triumph over adversity.
These six presenters will challenge students NOT to forget the lessons from the Holocaust. The stated goal is never to forget, but the question remains of how to remember the Holocaust for students who may have little or no knowledge of World War II. The Virtual School’s answer is to focus on the survival of refugees from the Holocaust.
“Witnesses and Voices of the Holocaust” offers firsthand accounts from survivors of all kinds. . . . those who lived through the war in hiding, in ghettos, in camps, by escaping, or in active resistance to Nazi rule. This videoconference shows how many Holocaust survivors found their way through unimaginable hardship and suffering to find new lives of purpose and dignity.
These videoconferences will celebrate the courage of the survivors and spotlight the Holocaust as the pre-eminent modern example of the fruits of hatred, intolerance, ignorance and mass manipulation. "WITNESSES AND VOICES of the HOLOCAUST" will have a lasting impact on everyone who participates.
All video conferences are available at 9 AM and 10 AM CENTRAL TIME
Cost: $75.00
