Dear Safranim, A zisn un koshern peysekh. I received the following announcement regarding a summer 2009 course called "Holocaust and Teaching Tolerance for Children and YA:Sources and Services" to be held at the Palmer School of Library and Information Science in New York c Please see below for more information. Sincerely, Amanda (Miryem-Khaye) Seigel Dorot Jewish Division, Room 111 The New York Public Library Stephen A. Schwarzman Building Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street New York, NY 10018 Phone: 212-930-0601 Fax: 212- 642-0141 Email: <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected] Webpage: <http://www.nypl.org/humanities/jewish>http://www.nypl.org/humanities/jewish The holocaust and teaching tolerance for children and young adults: sources and services for librarians Summer june 29 july 3, 2009 Palmer School of Library and Information Science College of Information and Computer Science INSTRUCTOR: Donald E. Wilson A variety of resources will be presented through the examination of children's and young adult literature, film and video, Web Site analysis and evaluation, and field trips. The importance of learning about the HOLOCAUST has increased in direct proportion to the increase in years between SHOAH and the present time. Soon there will be no one alive that experienced the Holocaust when it happened. However, it is important that we will be able to say that we actually knew someone or met someone, heard them speak and shared their personal experiences during the Holocaust. Then it will be up to us, to share what we have learned from those survivors with those coming after us; so the next generation can say, they knew someone who actually met and spoke to a Holocaust survivor. We will spend the week exploring the literature, from books that will encourage tolerance and respect for the younger readers, to picture books, novel, non-fiction and various media for older children and young adults. We will also meet and hear from survivors, and visit three important Holocaust sites on Long Island, Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, Holocaust Resource Center of Temple Judea and the Special Collection at Queens Community College . As librarians and caring citizens, we will be ready to do our part in imparting our knowledge of this tragic, yet important event in our recent history with future generations. Here is what one student had to say about the course: "Thank You. In all of my graduate studies that was the most emotionally intense and potent class I have taken. Every day was a new exploration of people, human behavior, history and what I thought was going to be a course on choosing ideal books for a library on the subject became a thoughtful and reflective look at our past and present behavior. your class has taught me how important it is to listen to others' stories, not as an experience separate from myself, family and friends, but as one that needs to be heard, preserved, re-told and learned from for all of us to carry with us. The more people come together and talk, or even read, about the experiences of others the easier it is for us to see how similar we are. Being immersed for one week in the topic allowed me to focus on everything we were doing, seeing and discussing, think and re-think it and really and truly take from each day." This one week intense course will involve travel and a $35.00 materials fee plus admission costs. Assignments will be provided prior to class.
