The International School for Holocaust Studies a division of Yad Vashem, Israel’s national Holocaust memorial, is hosting an international conference on Holocaust education in Jerusalem on June 18th through June 20th.
The conference will feature more than 30 presentations and many outstanding interdisciplinary, educational workshops on 20 different topics in the various areas of Holocaust research and scholarship by Yad Vashem and Israeli scholars.
During the three day conference participants will be able to investigate the various disciplines of Holocaust study and engage in meaningful discussions on the applicability of the Holocaust to today’s issues in both the classroom and greater community.
A session on Thursday, June 21, will feature a panel of international Jewish education experts, among them Rabbi Nochum Kaplan, the Broolyn based Director of the Education Office of Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch, the educational arm of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.
He will be joined by Rabbi Kenneth Brander, Dean of the Center for the Jewish Future of Yeshiva University; Dr. Marc Kramer, Executive Director of RAVSAK; Efrat Chief Rabbi Shlomo Riskin; and Dr. Leonard Saxe of Brandeis University.
The afternoon-long session will deal with the challenging issues facing educators teaching a Holocaust curriculum and directors and educational directors of Jewish and Holocaust museums and centers.
