Students videoconference with Holocaust survivor
April 7, 2009 | | Leave a Comment
Sometimes videoconferencing is the ONLY medium to use – this is one example of giving students a rare & rich experience…..
Students in 10 US states will have the rare opportunity to hear and question Gerda Weissmann Klein, a survivor of the Holocaust. Klein was born in Poland, and when Germany invaded in 1939, her family was forced to live in their basement and then in a ghetto. She was sent to a concentration camp in 1942, where she stayed for three years before being freed by American soldiers. One Survivor Remembers is an Academy Award-winning documentary about Klein’s story.
Below is part of a videoconference held with Gerda Weissmann Klein last year. (You can access the full programs at the Klein Foundation’s YouTube channel.)
