Holocaust Speaker

Review:
What country was created after WWII for Jewish refugees?

Israel

During Mod 1, students went to the large gym to listen to a Holocaust speaker.  The speaker was Julie Kohner and I have provided information on her below, along with a video of her mother from 1953.  Mod 3 watched a short video of Holocaust testimonials and then started working on researching the Judaism.  Mod 4- 5 took a mini-quiz on the Holocaust and check a worksheet on Concentration Camps.  




Julie Kohner is the founder and CEO of Voices of the Generations, Inc.  She is the daughter of a Holocaust survivor and a trained educator. She has been a teacher in public, private, and Jewish religious schools in Los Angeles for 30 years.  Julie has a BA in Psychology, an MA in Educational Counseling, and a Pupil Personnel Credential.  In 1990, after the passing of her mother, she became compelled to share her mother’s Holocaust story with others in the hope that many could learn from this story of love overcoming hardship, racism, depravation, and the pain of war.  Her story of growing up as the child of a Holocaust survivor has motivated other children of survivors to share their stories too.  Her programs move and inspire people of all ages, but especially young adults to look at adversity and the world around them in ways that are new.
