"There is No Future Without Memory: Exploring the Holocaust and Social Justice"

The purpose of this seminar is to provide opportunities for educators to acquire the tools they need to adequately and completely teach the lessons of the Holocaust to the next generation. We will do this by introducing our participants to the local connections between Nebraska and the Holocaust, anti-Semitism and genocides. Through a variety of media we have planned a five day seminar meant to instruct, inspire and motivate teachers to return to their classrooms armed with resources and knowledge.

The seminar is limited to 20 participants and stipends are available for qualifying teachers.

This website will help you teach the economic concepts that are important for elementary students to learn as they study Nebraska history.
