Education
Individuals like Emily Bernstein and institutions such as the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh are what allow educators to truly take their their teaching, and in turn, their student's learning, to the next level. We don't always have the resources to teach the best lessons possible. We don't always have the ideas. We don't always have the connections. But someone does! Emily Bernstein is the Education Outreach Associate at the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh. Her mission, led through the Holocaust Center, is to support schools far and wide in their goal to teach about the Holocaust in the most engaging and effective way. They have done it for me and I know they can do it for you. Emily teaches us how networking with fellow educators and organizations online and locally can open up perspectives, ideas, methods, and resources that you never thought of using in your classroom. She shares how educators can teach about the Holocaust in any content area and provides ample resources to make the process as easy as possible for novice and advanced teachers alike. Teaching about the Holocaust is an incredibly important responsibility as educators and it's something that we have to tread through carefully. It is a sensitive subject and can be quite intimidating to teach and do justice, but Emily Bernstein and the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh offer their vast knowledge, resources, and connections to make the transition into teaching about this subject-area easy. I encourage those of you interested in teaching about the Holocaust, those of you who want to teach about the subject on a deeper level, or those of you who simply want to learn more about it personally to reach out to Emily and the Holocaust Center using the links below.
