"Teaching about Holocaust Literature": a lesson plan by Josephine Cripps.
Effective teaching of Holocaust literature can be broken down into four basic steps: 1. Exploration of students' prior knowledge; 2. Contextualization; 3. Acitivities that support active reading; 4. Assessment
"Another Time, Another Place": a play by Evan Tannenbaum Cummins.
For over 20 years Eva has performed a one-woman
play based on her story. In 2013, with the help of Josephine Cripps, Eva
formally wrote down her play. READ "ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE"
In 1991, a director with whom I was working asked me to dramatize my childhood. The result is this one-woman “staged memory.” Performed first in New Orleans, the piece traveled with me, in 1995, to my new home in Seattle. The play’s framing device is a conversation between my grandchildren, Jess and Sierra, and me. Out of this conversation I hope that new ones will arise. Another Time, Another Place embodies my three enduring passions: the theater, education, and my Jewish identity. As one of the last remaining survivors of the Holocaust, I feel an urgency to honor my heritage and share it.
In that regard, I thank the Washington State Holocaust Education Resource Center. The Holocaust Center has helped me bring my story to stages, libraries and schools, and community centers throughout the region. We all have a story, and this is mine. I hope it helps you understand another time, another place.
