PD Opportunity: "It Starts with Words: Teaching the Holocaust to Combat Hate”

“It Starts with Words:  Teaching the Holocaust to Combat Hate” 

 Tuesday, March 19, 2024 | 9AM-3PM | Burlington, VT 

 Facilitated by Echoes and Reflections 

 WHY ATTEND THIS PROGRAM?

 The Holocaust arose out of antisemitic hatred fueled in part by the power of words. Participants examine the escalation of words to violence, which in turn, became genocide in order to consider where such a progression might have been interrupted. Educators gain tools to apply these lessons to modern day issues faced by students to ensure human dignity for all.

 

 PROGRAM GOALS: 

 Through this program, educators will:

•  Identify how words, images and propaganda were used to isolate and demonize Jews in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. 
•  Discover and utilize classroom lessons and resources to help students explore how hate and prejudice escalate when they are left unchecked.
•  Explore ways to support students’ ability to recognize their role, and the role of groups and individuals, in interrupting hate. 
•  Build confidence and capacity to teach this subject.

 $50 fee per educator includes: Full-day program, 6 p.d. credits, materials, lunch, and snacks.
