4:00 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.

Resistance in the Vilna Ghetto took many forms. Through the diary of a teenager, explore the new online exhibition by the YIVO Institute of Jewish Research on Yitskhok Rudashevski, who describes daily life in the Vilna Ghetto. Through the exhibition, you will gain insights into cultural resistance and the fierce passions of this young boy in the face of dire adversity. Led by the YIVO Director of Digital & Chief Curator of the Online Museum Karolina Ziulkoski, explore the online exhibition, Yitskhok’s diary, and rare artifacts from the YIVO archive to bring the human story of this remarkable teenager to your students.

This webinar connects to Units 4, 5, and 7 on the Echoes & Reflections website.
