The International School for Holocaust Studies Web
site has recently expanded, with several new sites and useful educational
material:
New Online Course for Educators: "Life Lessons -
Bringing Holocaust History to Your Classroom"
This new online course provides educators with directives in Holocaust history
in conjunction with pedagogic tools applicable to the classroom. Participants
gain excellent knowledge in the historical aspects of the Holocaust from a
multi-disciplinary approach, through use of primary and secondary sources. In
sync with Yad Vashem’s educational philosophy, the historical content is explored through examining testimonies, diaries, artwork, literature and
photographs, and applying the knowledge to practical educational materials for
classroom usage.
Upon completion of the course, participants gain confidence in teaching the
Holocaust in their classrooms to a variety of ages through a dynamic series of
approaches.
"And Despite it All, I Am Alive" - Educational Journey Beyond the Image
Designed to accompany the newly launched Online Photo Archive, this unique
educational site follows the postwar experiences of Holocaust survivors, through
use of photographs from Yad Vashem’s archive. These photographs are accompanied
by extracts from testimonies and memoirs, and discussion questions for students
in the classroom.
