Holocaust Center offers programs in the Tri-Cities

On March 18 and 19 the Holocaust Center offered two programs in the Tri-Cities area.

"Stories from a Holocaust Survivor - Frieda S." and "Creating Change: Teaching about the Holocaust and Genocide."

Almost 300 individuals from the community came out on a Thursday evening to hear Frieda share her experiences.

The following day, 35 teachers from around the region attended the intensive all-day teacher seminar. Sessions included: an overview of the Holocaust, rescue and resistance, camps and ghettos, and a special presenation by Dr. John Roth "Situating the Holocaust in a Genocidal World."

The Holocaust Center sincerely thanks the Red Lion Hotel for their sponsorship. Thank you also to the Shemanksi Foundations, the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, and the Claims Conference for generous funding to make these programs possible. And of course, a big thank you to Jennifer Gilliland and Kiona Benton-City High School for hosting these programs and presenters Brad Veile, Stephen Pagaard, and Dr. John Roth.
