[Michlib-l] Holocaust Remembrance Webinar April 17 reminder

[Margaret Lincoln]

Dear Colleagues,



You have already received information about the series of events
<https://sites.google.com/a/lakeviewspartans.org/holocaust-remembrance/>
taking place in Battle Creek, Michigan in observance of Holocaust
Remembrance 2016.



I am pleased to let you know that the live webinar being offered on Sunday,
April 17 from 1:00-2:00 PM (ET) is an Echoes and Reflections Enhanced
Learning Opportunity developed and designed for educators who have
previously completed an introductory Echoes and Reflections program. It
will be presented live from Yad Vashem in Jerusalem by the International
School for Holocaust Studies.



The focus of the webinar will be on Righteous Among the Nations and is
designed to prepare educators and students for viewing Yad Vashem's
traveling exhibit "Besa: A Code of Honor" which is previewed at
http://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibitions/besa/.  This exhibit highlights
Muslim Albanians who helped shelter Jews during the Holocaust. Expanding
the topic of Rescuers and Non-Jewish Resistance, the session will provide a
more in-depth study of the complexity of the decisions made by the
Righteous Among the Nations in various countries. What moral lessons can be
learned from these stories? How are the actions of communities and
organizations different from those of diplomats or individuals? Can one
person make a difference?



Registration is available at http://bitly.com/BesaWebinar and will close on
Wednesday night. There is no cost for this professional development event.
This will also be the first time that Yad Vashem has delivered such an
online training session in real time remotely from abroad to the US.



You may participate in the webinar from your home or join a big screen
group viewing of the webinar from the premises of Lakeview High School in
Battle Creek.



Registration is limited to 30 participants. You will receive an email
confirmation that your registration has been received followed by login
instructions by Thursday, April 14, 2016.

Thank you for your consideration and we hope that you will be able to
participate on April 17!
