Witness to History - Survivor Presentation
Witness to History - Survivor Presentation: Our Witness to History Project - Survivor Presentations provide the opportunity for students to hear a survivor's or liberator's testimony first hand. Survivors and liberators as eyewitnesses to the Holocaust are the richest and best way to educate our youth to emphasize the message that racial, ethnic, and religious hatred are social poisons that affect individual people and families. This program lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes and includes a question and answer session, allowing the audience to engage in a meaningful dialogue with the speaker. An Educator accompanies the survivor and provides background on Holocaust history as it relates to the survivor and facilitates the question and answer session. This program can be hosted at a venue of your choice or at the Museum and can be tailored to a degree to meet specific requests of teachers.
