On October 8, Calgary Jewish Federation in cooperation with our partners at the Azrieli Foundation hosted junior high and high school teachers in an instructive and engaging Holocaust Education Teachers’ Conference. Two sessions ran concurrently (one in English and one in French) as the teachers in attendance were introduced to the Holocaust Survivor Memoirs Program. The sessions included pedagogy for teaching the Holocaust and tangible lessons to educate students in grades 8 to 12. This conference followed a talk, also sponsored by the Azrieli Foundation, on October 7 at Mount Royal University where students from 5 different schools heard Rene Goldman of Sommerland, BC tell his story of Holocaust survival. For information about Holocaust Education in Calgary, contact Ilana Krygier Lapides.
