Teaching the Holocaust: Stories of Survival

Frank Baker and Esther Greenberg will give a presentation that addresses the challenges and opportunities of teaching about the Holocaust by focusing on the stories of Holocaust survivors Felix and Bluma Goldberg. The Goldbergs were originally from small towns in Poland, and met after the war in a displaced persons camp in Germany. They eventually made their way to America and settled in Columbia, SC to start a new life together. This talk will draw from Frank Baker’s YA Graphic novel “We Survived the Holocaust”, from Esther Greenberg’s personal experiences, and from the website Stories of Survival, which features video testimonials, an interactive map, and primary sources materials.

Sales of the YA graphic novel “We Survived the Holocaust” will be available after the CLP, along with an author book signing.
