Arthur and Rochelle Belfer National Conference for Educators

Description

At this conference, special emphasis will be placed on the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum's new exhibit, "State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda." Museum educators and scholars share rationales, strategies, and approaches for presenting this complex topic to students, in sessions designed specifically for middle- and high-school teachers. Participants have extensive time to view the Museum's permanent exhibition "The Holocaust"; tour "Remember the Children: Daniel's Story," and other special exhibitions; and visit the interactive computers in the Wexner Learning Center and other resource areas. Seminar sessions emphasize planning and implementing units of study for teaching about the Holocaust in middle and high schools. Educators who complete the program receive a set of educational materials and a voucher worth $100 to purchase Holocaust–related resources in the Museum Shop.
