Training Video for Educators: Teaching with Survivor Testimony

One of the most powerful ways of remembering the Holocaust and honoring its victims is to bring the voices of survivors to your students. These voices are important to fulfilling one of the Museum’s guidelines for teaching about the Holocaust–translating statistics into people. By incorporating survivor testimony in your classroom, students become witnesses and honor both the memory of survivors and victims of the Holocaust.
