Virtual Program: Teaching the Holocaust through the Story of Beba Epstein

For Grades 6-12

Beba Epstein: The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Girl is the first exhibition of the YIVO Bruce and Francesca Cernia Slovin Online Museum. Hundreds of artifacts from YIVO’s archive are contextualized through interactive storytelling, taking educators and their students on a virtual journey of one teenager from 1920s prewar Vilna, Poland, through the Holocaust, to post-War America. Educators will receive a curated tour of the online exhibition, which includes teacher guides, and discover how they can use this new resource in their classrooms teaching students about history and the Holocaust in a new and meaningful way.

Workshop Includes:

• Classroom Resources
• 1.5 Clock Hours

Presenter: Karolina Ziulkosk, Chief Curator of the YIVO Bruce and Francesca Cernia Slovin Online Museum.
