One of our Speakers Bureau members, George Elbaum, has a blog to share his travels and teachings with his book, Neither Yesterdays Nor Tomorrows. The blog includes pictures from the sessions, as well as feedback he has received from the attendees. Check out the blog here http://neitheryesterdays.com/
"Since my goal at these events is to educate and to “make a difference”, I usually speak to student audiences because they are still open to new information and ideas while the minds of most adults are already set, especially on politically, culturally, or religiously sensitive subjects. Regarding the Holocaust, my personal experience with adults is that this mindset is equally strong at both extremes, ranging from those who know it well because they experienced it first hand to its deniers who even try to convince the survivors that it didn’t happen." -- George Elbaum
"Throughout your speech you stated that the only reason you survived was sheer luck, but I believe that it was destined to be that way. It was your destiny to survive and eventually one day to tell students just like me about your story, so we may know that no matter how bad things get, we should always have faith and be thankful for what we can be thankful for." -- Student response
The Holocaust Center for Humanity's mission is to inspire teaching and learning for humanity in the schools and communities of the Northwest through study of the Holocaust.
