Join Facing History and Ourselves and
guest scholar Dr. Alan Rosen for an educators’ workshop and community
conversation on using literature to teach about the Holocaust. Dr. Rosen will introduce practical and
theoretical uses of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction in Holocaust
education.
Dr. Rosen has held fellowships at the Center for
Advanced Holocaust Studies, the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the
International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem. He has taught at
universities and colleges in Israel and the United States and lectures regularly
at Yad Vashem’s International School for Holocaust Studies. His most recent
work is The Wonder of Their Voices: The 1946 Interviews of David Boder. He is
also the author of Sounds of Defiance: The Holocaust, Multilingualism and
the Problem of English.
Facing History and Ourselves is an
international educational and professional development organization whose
mission is to engage students of diverse backgrounds in an examination of
racism, prejudice, and anti-Semitism in order to promote the development of a
more humane and informed citizenry. By studying the historical development of
the Holocaust and other examples of genocide, students make the essential
connection between history and the moral choices they confront in their own
lives.
This program has been made possible by the generous support of the
Ingrid D. Tauber Philanthropic Fund in collaboration with TCI, a program of
Jewish LearningWorks.
