Join the National Archives (NARA) and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for a webinar on American responses to the refugee crisis and to the Holocaust in the 1930s and 1940s.

January 7, 2021, 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET
or
January 13, 2021, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET

In preparation for International Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27), this webinar will include:

• A presentation on the history of Holocaust refugees and American policy.

• A demonstration using the NARA resource, DocsTeach.org, to locate primary sources and explore teaching activities.

• An examination of three case studies drawing on records from the National Archives and the Americans and the Holocaust exhibit at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Dr. Becky Erbelding will provide historical context as well.

This professional development webinar, which will cover the same material on two different dates (January 7 & 13), will be particularly valuable to teachers of English and Language Arts and Social Studies.
