From the participants:
"I had just taught a unit on Holocaust and genocides for the first time and was looking for more information to supplement my knowledge. This was the perfect event for me."
"I have never been so moved. Thank you for being committed to telling and teaching these stories."
"The excellent speakers greatly inspired me and increased my interest in the subject!"
