Roma and Sam Kaltman Institute on Teaching the Holocaust

June 20-24, 2022

Educators are invited to join the Holocaust & Humanity Center for a five-day institute that will give them effective and engaging techniques for teaching the Holocaust in their classrooms.

The course was quite literally jam packed with information, phenomenal speakers, and comprehensive coverage of this difficult and complex subject.
