Program Description:

What was it like to be a Jew in Europe prior to World War II?  How was your life different from non-Jews?  What did you know about the regime in Nazi Germany and what happened to you as a result of its rule?  What was it like to be sent away from your parents on the Kindertrasnport or to stay in your home country and be taken away to a concentration camp? What was life like in the camps? What did it mean to be liberated?  For this very special program, take your study of World War II and the Holocaust to individuals who lived through them.  Ask these questions and more as you interact with Holocaust survivors.   

Our focus in this program will not be exploring the historic details of World War II or the Holocaust, but it will be to provide students the rare and important opportunity to speak directly with those who lived during that time and survived to share their experiences with others. This program will come live from the Holocaust Museum and Learning Center in St. Louis.
