Many middle and high school teachers are required to teach the Holocaust to their students and don’t know where to begin. Some may even find the subject matter intimidating. With its program, How to Teach the Holocaust, the New Jersey State Bar Foundation provides guidance on tackling this sensitive topic.

How to Teach the Holocaust is an interactive workshop designed to give educators the pedagogy behind successfully teaching the Holocaust. Each educator who attends the Foundation’s program will receive a copy of the Echoes and Reflections Teacher’s Resource Guide. This 10-lesson guide includes visual history testimonies, primary source materials, instructional strategies to promote critical thinking and so much more. This program is a partnership between the New Jersey State Bar Foundation and the Anti-Defamation League.

This program is FREE for educators and geared toward middle and high school teachers. Trainings are from 9am-3pm and participants who attend the full training will receive 5.5 professional development credits.

A Survivor’s Account

Holocaust survivor Gina Lanceter (sitting) relates the story of how she escaped from a train—that would have taken her to the death camps—through a window (a replica is held by her daughter Dina Cohen). Her powerful story of survival was told at the Foundation’s How to Teach the Holocaust training.
