We are excited to offer an in-person workshop this year in preparation for Texas Holocaust Remembrance Week. Educators are invited to join us in critically analyzing the survivor testimony of Rose Williams to create a snapshot moment using reading, history, science, math, and art! This workshop brings together all corners of the campus to create a visual storytelling animation of a pivotal moment in Rose's testimony.
Educators who attend will leave with the tools, template, and most important, hands-on experience, in creating animated visual stories to confidently implement in their own classrooms or with the help of other departments on campus. All supplies for the workshop are included but are easy to replicate utilizing materials you can find in or around the classroom.

Scholar-in-Residence Workshop w/Rachael Cerrotti
HMMSA Workshop for K-12 educators
Using photographs, video, audio, interviews, archival documents, contemporary headlines, and personal stories, Rachael brings her grandmother’s story, entwined with her own journey, into classrooms and communities, adjusting the focus of her presentations and workshops to speak to the age and interest of the audience.
Rachael’s award-winning curriculums have reached thousands of students of all ages, from as young as fourth grade to adult education. She collaborated with USC Shoah Foundation’s IWitness and Echoes & Reflections to develop classroom-ready resources to accompany her podcast, We Share The Same Sky, which was the first-ever narrative podcast to be based on a Holocaust survivor’s testimony. Those resources are now being used in classrooms across the country.
