This summer, 18 rural educators from around the country came to New York City to attend the Memorial Library Summer Seminar on Holocaust Education. Come to this session to learn more about the newly formed Holocaust Educators Network, and see examples of middle and high school classroom lessons developed in their seminar, all of which focus on ways to use writing to engage students with "the dark side of history."
