Jewish Education Program
We have adapted our successful program for use in Jewish educational settings. The program centers on The Jews of Poland, a resource book designed for teachers in Jewish educational settings, and includes:
- readings on Jewish identity, examining the lives of Reform, Conservative, Orthodox and secular Jews
- a description of the rich and varied Jewish life in Europe before World War II, including art, music, and literature
- an examination of the challenges Jews faced in retaining a sense of normalcy and Jewish life in the ghetto
- substantial resources on Jewish resistance, describing the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and the complex factors surrounding the event
- a discussion of the legacy of the Holocaust for Jews today.
