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 Kindertransport 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. The program will also include information about resources available through the Center.
Program Format		The videoconference program will consist of the following segments. 1. Welcome and Introduction—Student groups and experts will be introduced and welcomed to the program. 2. Interaction with the Survivors—Students will hear directly from individuals who lived during World War II and suffered during the Holocaust, and have the opportunity to ask each of them questions. Once you have enrolled for the program, we will send you the list of guests joining us for your program. This list will include brief biographical information on each. Please use this information to help your students develop questions for the program. 3. Closing Segment--Including summary of topics discussed and final questions from students.
Objectives		1. The participant will gain a greater understanding of what it meant to live during the Holocaust. 2. The participant will interact with individuals providing primary source accounts of recent world events. 3. The participant will meet people and hear stories from diverse perspectives.
