This seminar, conducted with the support of The Olga Lengyel Institute (TOLI), is intended to reach educators from schools across the state who are looking for meaningful ways to teach the Holocaust and other events that reflect intolerance and persecution. Participants will learn about the history of the Holocaust from exemplary lessons presented by seminar leaders and lectures by specialists in the field. They will also have the opportunity to hear the first-person testimony of a Holocaust survivor and to visit the New Mexico Holocaust and Intolerance Museum.
Toward the end of the seminar, focus will turn to the diverse peoples of New Mexico. A farewell dinner will take place at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, while teachers explore questions related to the history of New Mexico and the importance of social justice. Throughout the five days, the program will focus on the development of meaningful lesson plans that enable teachers to meet common core requirements at the middle and high school levels.
The Olga Lengyel Institute was established to educate students in the United States, Europe, and other parts of the world about human rights and social justice through the lens of the Holocaust and other genocides so that such atrocities may never again take place.
To accomplish its mission, TOLI provides professional development seminars for educators in the US and abroad that link the lessons of the Holocaust and other genocides to current world events, thereby working with teachers to promote a human rights and social justice agenda in their classrooms.
