TO INFINITY AND BEYOND: RESILIENCE BY TEENAGERS DURING THE HOLOCAUST (FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS!)
January 25th, 2024
1:00 PM ET
Our webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.
How was resistance possible in the horrific conditions of the Theresienstadt ghetto? In commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, please join Sheryl Ochayon, Project Director of Echoes from Yad Vashem, to hear the incredible story of Petr Ginz and other imprisoned teenagers who refused to be vanquished. They managed to compose poetry, write, draw, and create magazines, all in secret. Petr's drawing of the moon even made it into outer space, symbolizing the heights the human spirit can reach.
This webinar is intended for students to view with their teachers and connects with the Prewar Jewish Life and Resistance lesson plans on the Echoes & Reflections website, and will be the subject of a new Echoes podcast for students.
