Holocaust Workshop for Teachers

We are pleased to inform you that middle and high school Social Studies/English teachers in your county are invited to attend a multi-county teacher workshop on Teaching about the Holocaust. This workshop will be held at the Broyhill Civic Center in Lenoir. This workshop is of particular interest to social studies teachers teaching American history or world history and sixth-grade teachers teaching about Eastern Europe. It is also of interest to language arts teachers teaching the Diary of Anne Frank in the middle grades or Elie Wiesel's novel about the Holocaust, Night or other literature of the Holocaust at the high-school level. All workshop participants will also receive copies of the resource guide The Holocaust: A North Carolina Teachers' Resource, published by the N.C. State Department of Public Instruction in cooperation with the North Carolina Holocaust Council.

Featured speakers at this one-day conference will be Dr. Zohara Boyd, Dr, Peter Petschauer, and Dr. Karl Schleunes. Zohara Boyd was born in Piotrkow Trybunalski, Poland, the first ghetto established by the Nazis after Germany invaded Poland. Boyd’s family escaped to Warsaw shortly before the general deportations to Auschwitz began. She and her parents survived the war by “walking on the Aryan side” and hiding in plain sight. Peter Petschauer is the son of a Nazi SS officer and diplomat who was tried in the second round of Nuremburg Trials. Dr. Karl Schleunes is a noted Holocaust scholar, the chair of the History Department at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and author of The Twisted Road to Auschwitz and Legislating the Holocaust: The Nuremburg Laws, The workshop will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., December 10, 2008.

Substitute pay will be provided for all public school teachers attending.
