NCCAT’s Holocaust Education Program works to promote Holocaust education in North Carolina public schools. Last weekend the "Gathering of Holocaust Educators" took place in Cullowhee.
It is important to continue our efforts to promote student understanding of the ways in which our individual and collective actions shape the direction of the present and the world of the future. They are exploring teaching the Holocaust through writing and literature with various genres, including personal narrative/memoir, biography, poetry, and film. This program will help teachers focus on the power of individuals’ personal stories as an effective vehicle for teaching about the Holocaust, so they may involve students in appropriate and powerful study of this difficult topic.
Thanks to this group for their continued work!
