Teaching Holocaust Herstories

Catalog description

This module will explore varied experiences of women in the Holocaust and how to introduce them most effectively to your students. Well discuss young women who fought with the partisans in Croatia; a Jewish teenager in Ukraine; a girl from Vienna who survived on a Kindertransport, and others. Youll learn about impossible situations and choices women faced through photographs and stories of women interviewed by Centropa, a historical institute based in Vienna. Our focus will be on how to integrate the photographs, interviews, and Centropas short, multimedia films into lessons and project-based learning.
