From the Facing History and Ourselves website:

"Using Facing History's principal resource book, Holocaust and Human Behavior, as well as video, primary sources, and presentations by survivors and leading scholars of the Holocaust, participants will experience a rigorous encounter with this powerful history. During the Seminar, a wide range of innovative teaching strategies are used to help teachers confront the Holocaust. At the conclusion of the Seminar, participants leave with a thorough grounding on how to incorporate these teaching tools into their classrooms in ways that will help students connect the history of the Holocaust to the ethical choices they face today."

From the Historic Arkansas Museum website:

"Join us at Historic Arkansas, the museum doing great things with history, for our annual Fall School Fair. Everyone loves it—kids and teachers alike.

Teachers say they like:
*That up to 110 students can come at one time.
*That they can meet so many frameworks in 2.5 hours.

Kids like:
*How easy it is to learn when they're having fun!

Everyone likes:
*Seeing the blacksmith at his forge, the spinner at her wheel and the woodworker using his tools.
*Hearing fiddlers fiddle and storytellers tell their tales.
*Meeting Living History characters and stepping into the oldest house in Little Rock.
*Viewing our newest gallery about Arkansas's first people: the Caddo, Osage and Quapaw.
*Hands-on, participatory fun: the kind we're known for!

Come enjoy the most talent the museum can assemble in one day."

This popular living history event will provide participants the unique opportunity to learn about 1840s life by living it! You will be immersed in the role of trader, trapper-hunter, laborer, blacksmith, carpenter, Dragoon soldier, Army Topographical Engineer or domestic cook. You will gain a much deeper understanding of the realities of fur trade era life in the American West.

Participants will be provided study materials and lectures on history, living history, and interpretive skills. Living historians will teach and direct participants in use of 19th century work techniques and social skills. Lectures will take place through the first day with an overnight on the Santa Fe Trail that evening. On Friday, those who are to work for Bent, St. Vrain and Company will travel to the fort and sign on with the company. From that moment on, you are living a 19th century life 24 hours a day. The Army and trappers will spend most of their time working out of their camps along the Arkansas River.
