    HOLOCAUST EDUCATION TRAINING for middle and high school teachers

    New Mexico Human Rights Projects is proud to host an Echoes and Reflections professional development training program for middle and high school teachers who want to incorporate Holocaust education into their curriculum. A joint program of the Anti-Defamation League, USC Shoah Foundation and Yad Vashem, Echoes and Reflections prepares teachers to teach the complex history of the Holocaust in a way that stimulates engagement, critical thinking and personal understanding among students. Through this comprehensive program, teachers help students gain relevant insight into how to examine human dilemmas and social challenges, and determine their roles and responsibilities in the world around them.

    Teachers attending the training will receive a Teacher’s Resource Guide, access to an extensive array of visual history testimonies, and unlimited use of supplementary multimedia resources and supportive tools from the expansive Echoes and Reflections website.

The documentary highlights the story of Rafael Schächter, a young Czech opera-choral conductor who inspired these acts of resistance when he recruited and taught 150 prisoners Verdi’s Requiem in a dank cellar following the grueling days of forced labor that were the hallmarks of concentration camp life.
